Chunky Triple-Chocolate Cookies
"These are brownie-like cookies filled with chunks of nuts and chocolate and can be dipped in chocolate as well. I make these for Christmas and Valentine's Day and get lots of requests for the recipe. These are one of the few cookies I have to get out of my house quickly or I'll eat them all myself."

ingredients
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (3 squares)
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 1⁄4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2⁄3 cup flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1⁄2 cups walnuts, chopped and toasted
- 1 1⁄2 cups pecans, chopped and toasted
- 1 1⁄2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional) or 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shortening (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F; spray 3 baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line them with parchment paper.
- Melt 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, and butter in the microwave (about 1 1/2 minutes in my microwave) or over double broiler over simmering water. Cool.
- Beat eggs with sugar. Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into chocolate mixture just until combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and nuts. If desired, refrigerate dough until ready to bake.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake 7-8 minutes, until barely firm and tops are slightly cracked.
- Cool on cookies sheets 2 minutes and then transfer to wire racks.
- After cookies have cooled, if you would like to make these cookies look extra special, dip them in melted chocolate: Melt chocolate chips (either semi-sweet or white) along with shortening in a small bowl. Dip 1 half of cookie in melted chocolate. Lay onto waxed paper or a wire cookie rack to dry. Sometimes I dip the cookies in semisweet chocolate and then drizzle them with melted white chocolate.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay-at-home mother who loves to cook. I try to stay pretty active -- especially since I have 2 young boys and a baby girl. I love using my church's monthly pot-luck lunch as a testing ground for new recipes. I love American Test Kitchen's, Weight Watchers, Cooking Light, & Prevention cookbooks. I have an enormous pile of recipes from magazines I want to try someday.
