How to Make Bittersweet Decadence Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (double boiler), melt 8 ounces (227g) bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  6. Place the bowl over the simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bowl) and whisk until the mixture is lukewarm.
  7. Whisk the warm egg mixture into the melted chocolate until well combined.
  8. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, then stir in ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and ½ cup (60g) bittersweet chocolate chunks.
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1 ½ inches apart) onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly gooey.
  11. If using parchment paper, carefully slide the cookies onto wire racks to cool. Otherwise, let them cool on the baking sheets for a minute before transferring to wire racks.
  12. Let the cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
