By debicakes62

Ingredients

• 2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
• 2 cups chopped PLANTERS Walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 350°F.

CHOP 8 chocolate squares; set aside. Microwave remaining 8 chocolate squares in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add butter; stir until melted. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate and nuts. (Note: If omitting nuts, increase flour to 3/4 cup to prevent excessive spreading of cookies as they bake.)

DROP rounded tablespoonfuls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.

BAKE 12 to 13 min. or until cookies are puffed and shiny. Cool 1 min.; remove from baking sheets to wire racks. Cool completely.
