• Beat in mixer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Blend in chocolate.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
• Stir in vanilla and nuts.
• Using a regular cereal spoon (about 2/3 of a tablespoon in quantity), drop the mix balls on to a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should feel "set" when done.
• Cool slightly on sheet before storing/eating.

Steps:

• Arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir together the brownie mix, butter and egg in a large bowl until smooth and combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks.
• Scoop 24 balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets. Use the palm of your hand to gently press each ball into a thick disk. Bake until the cookies spread and the edges are just set, rotating the trays halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

DROP BROWNIES

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease 2 cookie sheets.
• Place the 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bits and the butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan; melt over low heat (or melt in the microwave), stirring until smooth, let cool slightly.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla until well combined.
• With the mixer on slow, add the cooled melted chocolate, then the dry ingredients; blend well.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts.
• Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls (2-inch apart) on prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake 10-12 minutes (they will puff, but won't firm up until they are cool, so DON'T OVERBAKE!).
• Cool for a couple of minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• These cookies keep well if they are covered for 4-5 says at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months (they freeze very well).
• Note: If desired, the cookie dough may be prepared and frozen, well covered, in the freezer before baking, just thaw, and bring to room temperature before baking.
• **NOTE** Start with 1-1/4 cups of flour, and add more if needed to make a soft but firm enough dough to spoon on a cookie sheet.
