Ingredients:

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (such as Ghirardelli Bittersweet Dark Chocolate Chips)
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups walnuts, chopped
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 1-minute intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly.
Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake for about 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies appear dry on the outside but still soft and gooey inside.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Notes:

Be careful not to overcook the cookies; they are best when soft and slightly gooey inside.
Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Walnut Cookies as a treat any time of the day
