Servings: persons

1/4 C all purpose flour
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (freshly ground is best)
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
6 tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
7 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled (I like Valrhona or Ghirardelli)
1 C (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 C chopped walnuts, toasted
Walnut halves, optional
Additional melted semisweet chocolate for drizzling, optional

1
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone pad. Place flour, cocoa powder (chocolate #1), cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir with a wire whisk to combine. In another bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) beat the butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the melted semisweet chocolate(chocolate #2) until smooth. Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. By hand, stir in the milk chocolate chips (chocolate #3) and the chopped walnuts.
2
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing 2 inches apart, as the cookies will spread. Press a walnut half into each cookie. Bake until cookies look dry and cracked, about 11 minutes, but checking after 8 minutes. Let cookies stand on sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack and cool completely.
3
If desired, dip fork tines into melted semisweet chocolate. Wave fork over cookies, drizzling melted chocolate using your best Jackson Pollock style. Let stand until chocolate sets.
4
These cookies can be prepared ahead. Wrap airtight and let stand at room temperature 2 days or freeze 1 month. Alternatively freeze the prepared dough by rolling into a log in a large sheet of parchment paper. Keep the dough log in the parchment and then tightly wrap again in plastic wrap. Keep in freezer up to 6 months, slicing and baking from the frozen log as needed. Increase cooking time accordingly.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
