The food version of crack

at least that's what my husband calls this recipe! Credit must go to my friend Kristine for this addictive treat.

Death by Chocolate Cookies
16 oz semisweet chocolate chips, divided
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 cups chopped nuts OR white chocolate chips (I prefer the white choc. chips!)

Heat oven to 350
Melt 8 oz of the choc. Chips in a large bowl in the microwave for 1-2
minutes, checking frequently. When chocolate is smooth and melted stir in
the brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Then add the flour and baking
powder. Finally stir in the nuts and remaining choc. Chips. Drop by 1/4 cup
onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12-13 minutes or until just set to
the touch. Do not overbake. Cool on the sheet for one minute before
transferring to a rack to cool.

Love these because one bowl and a wooden spoon gets the job done!

Enjoy the buzz
