and suggestions.

Chocolate Walnut Refrigerator Cookies
This is a good chocolate cookie recipe, one that everyone
will like. As far as chocolate intensity goes, we would rate
this cookie as ?medium??not overly chocolate and not light.
Like many
refrigerator cookie recipes, this one produces a light,
crisp, yet tender cookie.
This is an extra large recipe. Refrigerate or freeze any
dough that you don?t use immediately. As with most cookies,
it is important not to over bake these cookies.
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
Measure the flour by scooping some into a bowl and then
spooning the flour into the measuring cup. (If you measure
packed flour, you will have too much.) Add the baking powder
and baking soda and stir to combine.
Cream the butter, sugar, and salt together. Add the extract.
Beat in the eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy. Melt
and add the chocolate.
Add the flour mixture and the nuts. With the mixer or your
hands, mix the dough into a single mass.
Divide the dough into three parts. Place each on sheets of
waxed paper and roll the dough in the waxed paper into 1
3/4-inch diameter logs. Refrigerate the logs for at least
two hours or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove one log from the
refrigerator and cut it into slices a bit thicker than 1/4
inch. Put the slices on an ungreased baking sheet with room
for expansion. Bake for 9 the cookies just begin to lose
their glossy appearance. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
