Ingredients

1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped

6 tablespoons butter

4 large eggs

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the chopped semisweet chocolate and butter together. You can do this in a double boiler over gently simmering water, or use the microwave on low power, stirring frequently to ensure even melting. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before proceeding.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes thick and pale in color, about 2–3 minutes.
Pour the cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture along with the vanilla. Beat until thoroughly combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir this dry mixture into the chocolate batter. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough. If the dough seems too soft to scoop, let it rest for a few minutes to firm up slightly.
Drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets using a heaping tablespoon for each cookie, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and their surfaces show light cracks. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Every ingredient is a staple available at any Charlotte grocery chain without a special trip. The cost per serving runs about $0.35–$0.45, driven mainly by butter and chocolate, which are reasonable for a dessert that yields 24 cookies. The stated 25 minutes is honest if you're using a stand mixer; hand-mixing adds five to ten minutes, so budget thirty minutes total for a weeknight dessert. These cookies are fuss-free, require no special attention in the oven, reheat perfectly in a 300-degree oven or toaster oven, and make an excellent lunch-box addition or gift, so leftovers are a real win.
