Main Ingredients:
• 1/3 Cup butter, softened
• 2/3 Cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 Cup cocoa powder
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 Cup miniature semisweet chocolate
chips
• 1/4 Cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Topping Ingredients:
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1 TB. water
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment
or waxed paper. In a large bowl, cream
together the butter and sugar until smooth.
Beat in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour,
cocoa and baking powder; stir into creamed
mixture on low until well blended. Dough
will be stiff. By hand, stir in the chocolate
chips and nuts.
3. Divide dough into two equal parts and
place on prepared baking sheet. Shape each

4 inches apart. You can also use two pans.
Blend the egg yolk and water together and
brush the loaves lightly with the mixture.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, until firm.
Remove from pan, cool for 30 minutes.
4. Using a serrated knife, slice the loaves
diagonally into 1-inch slices. Return the
slices to the covered baking sheet, placing
them on their sides.
5. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for
10 minutes on each side or until dry.
Cool completely and store in an airtight
container.
