Ingredients
8 oz semisweet chocolate (8 squares)
3 oz unsweetened chocolate (3 squares)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Directions
Note: These intensely chocolate cookies deserve their name --
because of their shape, of course, and yours if you eat too many.
Yield: 25 Large Cookies
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and grease 3 cookie sheets.
Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler over simmering
water. Cool to room temperature.
Beat the eggs with the sugar in a mixer bowl until a ribbon forms
when the beaters are lifted, about 10 minutes. Beat in the chocolate
mixture and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a
medium bowl and stir into the chocolate mixture just until combined.
DO NOT OVERMIX!!! Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop batter
by quarter cupfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookies sheets
(DO NOT FLATTEN). Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until barely firm and tops
are just dry and slightly cracked. Cool on the cookie sheest for 2
minutes and then gently transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have a couple of recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich people of that time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Chubbies recipe.
