I made these super awesome, ecstatically delicious chocolate cookies today. Recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens' Biggest Book of Cookies.

Makes: about 36 cookies
Oven: 350F

Ingredients:
1 12-oz. package (2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped nuts (I left these out)

1. Grease a large cookie sheet; set aside. In a medium heave saucepan heat 1 cup of the chocolate pieces, the unsweetened chocolate, and butter until melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, and baking powder. Beat with a wooden spoon until combined, scraping sides of pan occasionally. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate pieces and nuts. (Yes, that was all Step 1. I didn't write the recipe.)

2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and surfaces are dull and crackled. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

My notes: The cookies will actually still be a bit shiny; just stick a toothpick in one, and if it comes out clean, the cookies are done. Also, the cookie sheets I have are darker, so I set the oven temperature to 325 and baked the cookies for 10 minutes, and they are perfect.
