1 cup All-purpose Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Butter, softened
1/2 cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
1 cup Granulated Sugar
2 whole Eggs
4 squares Unsweetened Chocolate, melted
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 6-oz. packages Semisweet Chocolate Pieces
1 cup Walnuts or Pecans, chopped (optional)
Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 375-F degrees and lightly grease two or three cookie sheets or spray with a non-stick oil.
Sift all-purpose flour and baking soda into a large mixing bowl. Blend in the whole wheat flour. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, sugars, eggs, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract until fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour mixture, about a third at a time, until well blended. Add chocolate pieces and nuts, and mix until thoroughly combined. You may need to use a wooden spoon, or your hands, to make sure the chips and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until cookies feel firm. Remove to wire rack to cool. May store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
