Brownie Cookies

Brownie Cookie Recipe

4 oz. semisweet chocolate
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2-1/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 lb unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tbsp. milk
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Melt the chocolate over hot water.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Set aside.

In mixer bowl, cream the butter. Add the sugar slowly and continue to beat. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time. Add the chocolate and stir to blend. Stir in the dry ingredients and the milk by hand. Mix in the walnuts.

Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before rolling.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

To form the cookies, scoop out part of the dough and roll out on a well-floured surface. When dough is 1/4-inch thick, cut it into rounds or other desired shapes. Re-roll scraps and cut again. Place on cookie sheet (leave room for expansion) and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for any hot spots in the oven and don't let these brownie cookies overbrown.
