Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 2 large heavy baking sheets.
In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering
water melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup chocolate chips, and butter,
stirring
until smooth, and remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat. In a bowl
with an electric mixer beat eggs, sugar, and ground coffee on high speed
until
very thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beaters are lifted,
about
3 minutes, and beat in chocolate mixture. Into mixture sift in flour, baking
powder, and salt and stir until just combined. Stir in remaining chocolate
chips and walnuts.
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto baking sheets
and
bake in batched in middle of oven 8 to 10 minutes, or until puffed and
cracked
on top. Cool cookies in baking sheets 1 minute and transfer to racks to cool
completely.
Makes about 30 cookies. |
