Chocolate Cookies

Chocolate cookies--really chocolatey chocolate cookies! This sunny summer morning my new oven was ready to bake, after 3 months of kitchen remodeling. And I knew just what I wanted to cook up! It couldn't have been more fun-- mixing up the melted chocolate, the brown sugar, the nuts... dropping the sweet spoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet... and then pulling out the hot, fragrant cookies from my shiny new oven. What a glorious moment! They tasted as rich and chocolatey as I had remembered them. So if you want to make some scrumptious chocolate cookies here is the recipe:

SCRUMPTIOUS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

2 2/3 cups chocolate chips (divided in half)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 cups chopped walnuts

Melt 1 1/3 cup chocolate chips in ithe microwave (1 1/2 min.) Mix in the brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Then add in the flour and baking powder. Finally stir in the remaining chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by spoonfulls onto a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Oh joy to have the kitchen full of hot, sweet chocolatei-ness again!! I promise you won't be disappointed in these cookies, if you love chocolate as much as I do!
