Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. By hand, using a wooden spoon, mix butter and sugars in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. Combine and add flour, cocoa powder and salt. Fold in all chips and the nuts until well combined. Drop by 1/4 cup portions onto an ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.

 

Notes: My sister started making a version of these cookies when she was in college and would deliver them to her father-in-law on weekends. They were so popular, she made 200 of them for her wedding. They are a chocolate lover's dream. She says the secret to these cookies is to mix them by hand with a wooden spoon, in order to produce a dense fudgy cookie. In keeping with the holiday spirit, I add some peppermint chips.

 

Number of Servings: 40 large cookies
