Ingredients




1 bag (11.5 oz.) Ghirardelli 60%% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 bag (12 oz.) Ghirardelli Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

1 In double boiler over hot water, melt the bittersweet chocolate chips and butter. 2 In large bowl with a mixer, beat eggs and sugar until thick; stir in chocolate mixture. 3 In small bowl stir together flour and baking powder; stir into chocolate mixture. 4 Gently mix in semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts. 5 Using a sheet of plastic wrap, form dough into two logs.  Each one is meant to be 2 inches in diameter and about 8 inches long. 6 Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until form. 7 Preheat oven to 375 F.  Unwrap dough and with a  sharp knife, slice off ¾ inch slices. 8 Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes. They were very thick, very chocolately.
