Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
  2. Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Butter - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the coarsely chopped chocolate and butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Whisk the Eggs and Sugar - In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to combine. Add the vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Add the Chocolate and Nuts - Gently fold in the chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips) and the toasted nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Step 7: Preheat the Oven - While your dough is resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Step 8: Scoop the Dough - Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each scoop.
  9. Step 9: Bake the Cookies - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remember, they will continue to cook as they cool.
  10. Step 10: Cool and Enjoy - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • Use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version of the cookies.
  • Consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can improve the texture.
  • Cookies can be frozen for up to three months for later enjoyment.
