Chocolate Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• ½ cup butter
• 1 ½ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional) - I used almonds because I had them!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a microwavable bowl, melt the 2 cups of milk chocolate chips with the ½ cup of butter in a microwave. (Put on medium-high power for 1 minute, take out and stir. If the chips are still not melted, microwave for 30-second intervals – stirring between each – until the chocolate is completely melted. It’s important not to burn the chocolate.) Once melted, let it set for 10 minutes to cool a bit.

3. Add to the chocolate mixture the sugar. Beat until blended. Add the eggs and vanilla – beat. Add the flour, baking powder and salt – mix well.

4. Stir in the white chocolate chips and the walnut pieces (if using).

5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet (or a cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil). Bake at 350 degrees for 8 – 10 minutes. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes prior to cooling on a cookie rack.
