chocolate chubbies

the holiday baking season is swiftly approaching.  this recipe will definetly be added on to my list of must bake cookies!!  how can you resist a name like "chocolate chubbies"?!?!  if you love brownies, chocolate and nuts--this is the recipe for you!  here we go...

Chocolate Chubbies
6 (1-ounce) semisweet chocolate squares, chopped

2 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares, chopped

1/3 cup butter

3 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels(i used milk choc)

2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
 
Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; cook, stirring often, over low heat until chocolate melts.(i used a double boiler, but i'm sure this would also work in the microwave) Remove from heat; cool slightly.





Beat eggs and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; add chocolate mixture, beating well.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to chocolate mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in chocolate morsels, pecans, and walnuts.




Drop batter by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets.




Bake at 325° for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool.
