Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon powdered instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and to perfection.
-
Prepare Cookie Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with foil to prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easier cleanup later on.
-
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the baking chocolates and butter. You can either microwave them on high for 1 minute, stirring at 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, or melt them in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
-
Cool Chocolate Mixture: Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, powdered instant coffee, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder with a mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes lighter in color and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
-
Incorporate Chocolate Mixture: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, beating until well combined.
-
Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
-
Fold in Nuts: Gently stir in the chopped walnuts and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough will have a gooey consistency.
-
Form Cookies: Using a scant 1/3 cup of batter per cookie, drop 5 mounds onto the prepared cookie sheet. Do not flatten the tops of the cookies, as they will spread out during baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the surface of the cookies appears dry, shiny, and cracked. The insides will remain soft and chewy.
-
Cool: Once baked, carefully slide the foil off the cookie sheet and allow the cookies to cool either on the foil or on a wire rack. This helps prevent them from sticking to the pan and allows air to circulate around them for even cooling.
-
Optional: Toast Nuts: If desired, you can toast the walnuts and pecans before adding them to the cookie dough. Simply spread them in a single layer on a shallow pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly colored. Allow them to cool before chopping or using.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once completely cooled, serve these delectable Chocolate Whoppers to friends and family, and watch as they disappear within moments! These cookies are perfect for enjoying with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee.
With their rich chocolatey flavor, crunchy nuts, and irresistible texture, these Chocolate Whoppers are sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire.
