Brownie Cookies
12 ounces (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz, 8 tablespoon or 1 stick, unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar (7 oz)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (2.5 oz)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnutsSift the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside. In the top of a double boiler set over hot water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter together. Once they are completely melted, take off the pot and let sit for few minutes. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and beat until the mixture until smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture. Stir to combine. Add flour mixture, just enough to combine. You may see a few specks of flour, which is fine. Fold in remaining chocolate chips and walnuts. The dough will be very thin like cake batter. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour until dough firms up. Set the oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with baking parchment. Scoop up the chilled dough, about 1 heaping teaspoonful, gently rolling into a round mound. You can use a small dough scoop as well. . Place the cookies on the prepared pans, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The tops of the cookies should be shiny with beautiful cracks on them. Allow to cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then remove to cake racks for further cooling.

Notes"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
