These are chocolaty, moist and rich. They almost taste like brownies. Tip: Do not overbeat cookie dough once the flour is added; the cookies will then be tough rather than tender. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
3/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cream the butter until light. Gradually beat in the white and brown sugar ( on low speed with a mixer if using one ) until creamy and light. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. Melt the chocolate in a small, heavy saucepan over very low heat. Stir chocolate into the butter mixture.
3. Slowly stir in the salt and flour. Combine thoroughly. Stir in walnuts, if desired.
4. Shape into walnut-sized balls. Make an indentation with your thumb in each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes until just done. Cool on rack.
