Ingredients:
1 lb Callebaut Semisweet Pastilles
10 Tbs (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
6 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
12 ounces chopped walnuts or pecans
12 ounces
Ghirardelli 60% Cocoa Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan or double
boiler until smooth. Set
aside. In a large bowl,
whip eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes on
high speed. Using a rubber spatula, combine melted chocolate with egg
mixture until well blended. In
a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder and then
fold into chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add nuts and chocolate chips and blend.
Chill dough
for at least 2 hours. Heat oven to 350ºF. Cover
a baking sheet with
parchment
paper or line with Silpat
Nonstick Baking Mat. Place mounds of dough 3 inches apart using an ice cream scoop.
(The balls of dough should be very large – about 2 inches in
diameter.) Bake for 18
minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
Remove parchment paper with cookies and cool on a wire rack.
Repeat process with a new sheet of parchment paper. Makes
30 cookies.
