Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Set aside.

In 3 qt. heavy saucepan, cook butter, baking chocolate and 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter and chocolate are melted. Remove from heat; cool.

In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture. Add chocolate mixture; beat well. Stir in toasted pecans and remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Drop dough by 2 tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets.

Bake 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
