300 g Fine dark chocolate (85 % cocoa)
250 g Pecan kernels
300 g Butter
1 pinch Salt
1 package Vanillin sugar
250 g demerara sugar
2 Eggs (size M)
350 g Flour
2 TEASPOONS Cocoa powder

Directions

1
Chopping chocolate. Melt 150 g chocolate over a warm water bath. Coarsely chop the pecans. Cream butter, salt, vanillin sugar and sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer.
2
Stir in the eggs one by one. Mix flour, cocoa and baking soda. Stir in several portions. Stir in melted chocolate. Fold in 150 g chopped chocolate and nuts. Place 6 large blobs of dough (1 heaped tbsp. each) at a large distance on a baking tray lined with baking paper (cookies run apart during baking), press lightly with the back of the spoon.
3
Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven, place carefully (because still a little soft and fragile when warm) on a rack and let it cool down.
