Melt the chocolate over hot water. 2. Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar slowly and continue to beat. Add the vanilla, then the eggs 1 at a time. Add the chocolate and stir to blend. 4. Stir in the dry ingredients and the milk by hand. When just blended, mix in the walnuts. Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before rolling. 5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. 6. To form the cookies, scoop out a portion of dough and roll out on a well-floured surface. When dough is 1/4 inch thick, cut it into rounds or other desired shapes. Re-roll scraps and cut again. 7. Place on cookie sheet (leave room for expansion) and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for any hot spots in the oven and don't let these cookies overbrown. VARIATION: For the Brownie Cookie Crust, make 1 recipe of Brownie Cookies and chill the dough briefly. Lightly grease the back side of a large baking sheet. Roll the dough out onto the baking sheet as thinly as possible so that the baked product will crumble easily. Bake crust at 375 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes. Let crust harden, then slide the cookie from the sheet and cool completely. Roll over the cookie with a rolling pin until it is crushed to a fine crumb. (There should be about 2 1/4 cups of crumbs.) Melt 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Mix it into the crumbs and pack the mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze for 30 minutes before filling in order to set the crust. Note: When I made this, I made individual cookie crumb crusts for the "Kit's Chocolate Mousse" recipe by using a large muffin pan. Line each cup with waxed paper for easy removal. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

With a small ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measure (fill cup about half-full), shape dough into 1 1/2-inch-diameter balls (about 2 1/2 Tbsp.) and place close together on 10x15-inch baking pans. Cover and chill at least 6 hours or up to four days. (If time is short, you can omit chilling step, but cookies may not brown as rapidly.) To bake, transfer cooky balls to 12x15-inch baking sheets, ungreased or lined with cooking parchment; space balls about 2 1/2 inches apart. Flatten each ball to a 3/4-inch-thick round: make sides go straight up and depress center of each cooky slightly. Let cooky dough warm to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Bake in a 400 degree oven until cookies are golden brown all around edges but center 1-inch is still pale, 8 to 10 minutes. (If you bake 2 pans in 1 oven, switch pan position halfway through baking for more even browning.) Remove from oven and cool on pans until firm, about 5 minutes. Then transfer to racks. Serve cookies warm or cool. If made more than 1 day ahead, cool, cover, and freeze in an airtight container. To reheat, place frozen cookies slightly apart on 12x15-inch baking sheets and bake in a 200 degree oven until warm, 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 3 to 3 1/2 dozen BEAR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE IS THIS THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKY? "The perfect cooky should have a slight crunch on the outside and be soft and very moist on the inside. It should be thick enough that you can feel your teeth sink into it. Its flavor should perfectly blend the sweetness of a buttery dough with the semisweetness of the chocolate." This is the standard Deryl Bear sets at his Hungry Bear Cookies store in Corte Madera and Fresno, California. Before entering the professional cooky business. Mr. Bear experimented with batch after batch of cookies to find the secret to moist chewy chocolate chip cookies. He found his answer in a combination of recipe proportions, shaping technique, and baking precision. His recipe portions are much like those for traditional chocolate chip cookies, except that he adds more flour and chocolate. The extra flour helps maintain a plump shape and keeps the cooky from spreading. Brief baking at a high temperature forms a crust on the outside and maintains a moist, chewy interior. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Possum Kingdom Lake Cookbook Nutr.
