Preheat and Toast:
Preheat your oven until it’s as warm as a comforting hug. Toast the pecan halves in the oven until they achieve a glorious toasty aroma, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, set them aside to cool like a gentle breeze. -
-
Chocolate Fusion:
Elevate your chocolate game! Increase the oven temperature to a perfect 350 degrees. In a double boiler, combine the unsweetened chocolate, 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate, butter, margarine, and espresso. Let the magic happen over simmering water until the chocolate is about 3/4 melted. -
Egg-cellent Whisking:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk those eggs with enthusiasm until they reach a state of frothy bliss. Gradually add sugar, whisking until the mixture becomes thick, luscious, and light in color. -
Chocolate Symphony:
When the chocolate concoction is almost melted, remove it from the heat and stir until it transforms into a satiny masterpiece. Gradually whisk this chocolate symphony into the egg mixture, then stir with a wooden spoon until it’s a harmonious blend. -
Dry Dance:
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the chocolate mixture. Gently stir until the dry ingredients perform a graceful dance, just enough to be incorporated. -
Chocoholic’s Dream Mix:
Chop the 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate into 1/2 inch chunks and stir them into the dough, along with the previously toasted nuts. This is where the Chocoholic’s dream truly comes to life! -
Baking Ballet:
Lightly butter four aluminum baking sheets (avoid foil to prevent cookie burn). Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, with 12 on each sheet to allow for the cookies to elegantly spread. Now, bake only one sheet at a time in the center of the oven.Temperature Time 350 degrees 10-12 minutes Bake until the cookies lose their shine but remain irresistibly soft.
-
Cooling Symphony:
Allow the cookies to cool for a mere 2 minutes on the pans. Then, using a pin-sized tip on an icing bag, create a criss-cross pattern of melted semi-sweet chocolate on each cookie, turning them into works of art. -
Patience is a Virtue:
Finally, exercise that admirable virtue of patience! Let the cookies cool for at least 1 hour before storing them in tins, ensuring their flavors develop and intensify with time.
