Baker's Death By Chocolate Cookie

My mom kept seeing the Baker's Chocolate advertisement for this cookie and finally decided that she wanted to try it.  She got me all the ingredients and left them and the recipe with me.  It's a fairly simple recipe and consists of about 70% chocolate, 20% nuts, and 10% of everything else required to make a cookie (flour, eggs, sugar, etc.).  I can't say no to chocolate, so I got to work on it.  The recipe requires two packages of the semi-sweet chocolate squares.  My mom already had a box from a previous thing she made and only got me one additional box, so I was about 4 squares of chocolate short on my batch, but I don't think it made too much of a difference.

The cookies came out very close to the picture, which always makes me happy.  They are very chocolaty and rich and definitely a keeper for my family.  I highly recommend a glass of milk to go along with these.  Or, if you are a chocoholic and cookie monster like my dad, then just eat them by the handful.  However, if you eat them by the handful, just be aware that the recipe only makes about a dozen and a half cookies, although they are larger than my normal chocolate chip cookie size.

I also ran across an interesting find.  The older chocolate box had a cookie that looked very similar to the one I was making, so I looked at the recipe for it on the back of the box.

It was the same recipe for the death by chocolate cookies under the name of chocolate chocolate chunk cookies.  I'm on to you Baker's.
