Cook Time: 8 mins

Total Time: 8 mins

Servings: 36

12 oz . bittersweet chocolate chips 60-70% cacao

1/2 c . butter

3 large eggs

1 c . granulated sugar

1/4 c . brown sugar

1 T . vanilla extract

1/2 tsp . baking powder

1/2 tsp . salt

3/4 c . all-purpose flour

1/4 c . unsweetened cocoa powder not Dutch-processed

1 c . pecans chopped, optional

1/2 c . mini semisweet chocolate chips

Melt chocolate and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and well-combined.
Remove from heat, and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugars, vanilla, baking powder, and salt on high speed 5 minutes, or until the batter is thick and creamy.
Reduce the speed to low, and mix in the melted chocolate until well-combined.
Stir in flour and cocoa powder just until combined.
Add nuts, if using, and chocolate chips. Stir in to combine. The batter should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter at this point.
Cover the batter, and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop batter onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies 8-10 minutes. The cookie will look set at the edges but still be a little wet looking in the center. Don’t overbake, or the cookies won’t be crackly and fudgy.
The shiny, crackly crust will develop as the cookies cool on the baking sheet.
