    Recipe Introduction


    "These are so wonderful, and worth every bit of the extra effort. This recipe is from an old Gourmet magazine, I think - my copy is so old and yellowed from use, I can barely read it any more. These are almost like candy, but more sophisticated!"

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons flour, sifted
    1/8 teaspoon baking powder
    1 pinch salt
    1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
    3 ounces semisweet chocolate
    1 tablespoon butter
    1/3 cup light brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 tablespoon water
    1 large egg
    3/4 cup chocolate chips
    pecan or walnut halves

    Recipe



    1. Line two cookie sheets with foil, set aside.
    2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
    3. Place the unsweetened and semisweet chocolate and butter in top of double boiler; cover for a few minutes until chocolate begins to melt; uncover and stir until completely melted.
    4. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
    5. Add sugar, vanilla, water, egg; stir until smooth.
    6. Add dry ingredients; stir until incorporated.
    7. Mix in chocolate bits.
    8. Drop rounded 1" teaspoonfuls onto foil.
    9. Place 5 inches apart.
    10. Top each cookie with a nut half.
    11. Bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes.
    12. Slide foil off baking sheets, letting cookies stand on foil for a few minutes before removing them.
    13. Finish cooling on racks.
