Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet.

Melt the chopped chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and well-combined. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Incorporate the eggs into the chocolate mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate batter, stirring until just combined.

Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
