Chocolate Espresso Chews!

Here’s the recipe I promised you from yesterday’s post:

Chocolate Espresso Chew

*from the kitchen of my WW leader, Nneaay, AtasciMay!  Names have been changed to protect the guilty…)

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips

3 oz unsweetened chocolate

1 stick butter

4 eggs, room temp

1 cup sugar

1 Tbsp finely ground dark coffee

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup walnuts, toasted, then chopped

Combine flour, baking soda & salt.  Set aside.

Melt 2 cups of the chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate & butter in microwave using 50% power.

Beat eggs, sugar, coffee & vanilla on high speed in electric mixer until thick ribbons form & mixture has doubled in volume.  By hand, stir in melted chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined, then add dry ingredients, chopped walnuts & remaining chocolate chips.  Cover & refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake on parchment paper lined baking sheets for 12-13 minutes;  tops will crack but cookies should be gooey inside.  Don’t overcook!

  Enjoy!
