Instructions:

- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until both the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and the cooled chocolate-butter mixture.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Rich chocolate cookies FAQ:
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set while the centers appear slightly underbaked, as they will continue cooking while cooling.
The cookies are done when the edges are firm and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will firm up as they cool on the baking sheets.
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with semisweet or milk chocolate, but this will change the overall flavor and sweetness of the cookies. Adjust the sugar if necessary.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to intensify their flavor.
- Use a cookie scoop to form even-sized cookies for uniform baking.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
