Chocolate Bliss Cookies
Prep Time: 15 min Total Time: 28 min
Makes: 2-1/2 doz. or 30 servings, one cookie each
2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
2 cups chopped PLANTERS Walnuts (I used Pecans, Yum!)
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop 8 of the chocolate squares; set aside. Microwave remaining 8 chocolate squares in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min., stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla; stir until well blended. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate and walnuts. (Note: If omitting nuts, increase flour to 3/4 cup to prevent excessive spreading of cookies as they bake.)
DROP rounded tablespoonfuls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.
BAKE 12 to 13 min. or until cookies are puffed and shiny. Cool 1 min.; remove from baking sheets to wire racks. Cool completely.

Hints: Make sure the dough is cool enough so that when you mix in the chocolate chips they do not melt into the mix! Don't worry if they do, they will still come out GREAT!
