Made this little number for my girls during Valentines' Day... As a token of appreciation for playing a special part in my life..

Bake: 10 - 12 minutes per batch
Yield: 4 dozen
250 grams Butter
1 3/4 cups Caster Sugar
2 Eggs
4 ounces Unsweetened Chocolate - melted & cooled
2 teaspoons Vanilla Essence
2 1/4 cups Plain Flour
1 teaspoon Sodium Bicarbonate or Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup Chopped Pecans or any other nuts of choice
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Beat in chocolate and vanilla.
4. Combine and sift the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
6. Drop by tablespoonfuls (small portions) 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
7. Bake at 175 degrees Celsius for 10-12 minutes or until tops are cracked.

Chock-full of chocolate, these crispy cookies have a tantalizing aroma while baking. They'll surely satisfy a sweet tooth. They taste better the next day.
Mum wants to try them again but with white chocolate bits and macadamia nuts.
