Makes about 2 dozen cookies
1 pkg (8 oz) Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chunks
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Melt 1 ounce chocolate chunks; set aside.
Beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 ounce of melted chocolate. Mix in
flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks and nuts. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 375*F. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls (or freeze dough and slice), about 2 inches apart, onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets. Remove cookies and finish cooling on wire racks.
*Melt an additional 4 oz. of chocolate to dip cookies into, if desired. Dip 1/2 of each cookie into melted
chocolate. Let stand on waxed paper until chocolate is firm.
*You may substitute wheat flour for the all-purpose flour.
