My grandmother has been making these since I can remember. They are my *favorite* cookies.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons orange juice or 2 tablespoons water
1 1/4 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
12 ounces chocolate chips
pureed and strained raspberries (optional)
Directions:
1. Beat first three ingredients (butter, egg yolk, and OJ).
2. Sift and stir in next three ingredients (sifted flour, sugar, and baking powder).
3. Press into a greased pan (9x13 ) (note, I frequently use a glass as a makeshift rolling pin for this step).
4. Bake in oven (350) for 10 minutes.
5. Sprinkle at once with chocolate chips.
6. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes.
7. Remove and spread chocolate.
8. Cover with optional pureed raspberries.
9. Beat two eggs until thick, 3/4 cups sugar, and melted butter.
10. Mix in 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract and the chopped walnuts.
11. Spread mixture over chocolate (raspberries).
12. Return to oven and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
13. Cut into bars as desired.
