Ingredients

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
  • 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (Ghiradelli or Hershey's Dark)
  • 1 cup roasted, chopped macadamia nuts (or you choose nuts)
  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
  2. MELT the 2 cups bittersweet chocolate in small, heavy-duty saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. (I use a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water)
  4. COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in the cup of semi-sweet chips and the roasted nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. ( I always use a #30 or #40 ice cream scoop to dip and deposit cookies)
  5. BAKE for 8 to 9 minutes ( turning tray 1/2 way thru baking) or until cookies are puffed. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
