TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
7 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. With mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and eggs at MEDIUM speed until smooth. Add melted chocolate and continue mixing on MEDIUM speed until blended.

Reduce speed to LOW and add dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips and walnuts; mix well. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheets, one inch apart.

Bake at 350 degrees F until cookies look dry and cracked, but feel soft when lightly pressed, about 11 minutes. Let cookies stand on sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen
