This cookie is crackly on the outside and moist and fudgy on the inside.

Fudge Crackles

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided use

3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped

3 tablespoons butter

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1. Heat oven to 350*F (175*C).
2. In medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
3. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and the unsweetened chocolate with butter in the microwave for about one minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
