Christmas Chocolate Drops
Try some yummy morsels that go great with a cold cup of
milk.
1 bag DoveŽ Brand Rich Dark Chocolate
8 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups chopped nuts: such as walnuts, pecans or toasted
almonds
2 cookie sheet pans
Foil paper
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the sheet pans
with foil and set aside. Melt half of the DOVEŽ Brand
Rich Dark Chocolate with the butter in the top of a
double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let
cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the
remaining chocolate and set aside. To make the batter,
combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a
small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs
and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes.
Stir in flour mixture and cooled chocolate and beat for
1 minute. Fold in the remaining chopped DOVEŽ Brand Rich
Dark Chocolate and nuts. Drop tablespoons of batter onto
the prepared cookie sheet pans about 2 inches apart.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until just firm.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool
for 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet
pans. Makes 36 cookies.
