From "The Coastal Living Cookbook"






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup butter
  
• 4 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate baking squares, chopped
  
• 3 cups (18 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels, divided
  
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Combine butter, unsweetened chocolate, and 1-1/2 cups chocolate morsels in a large heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter and chocolate melt; cool.
   
   
2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer. Gradually add dry ingredients to egg mixture, beating well. Add chocolate mixture; beat well. Stir in remaining 1-1/2 cups chocolate morsels and the pecans.
   
   
3. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° F for 10 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
   
   Makes about 2-1/2 dozen.
   
   






Final Comments


"These double chocolate cookies are similar in texture to a brownie. For jumbo cookies, drop dough by 1/4-cup measures and bake slightly longer."
