Chocolate Mounds

These chocolate mound cookies were first introduced to me by my friend Aimee's mom. They have become a favorite of mine and are always a hit when I serve them to guests or take them to parties. I made them egg free for the first time today and they are still quite tasty. A little more brittle than the original recipe, but still very good. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients: 

• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6- 1oz squares semi-sweet chocolate
• 2- 1oz squares unsweetened chocolate
• 2 tbsp butter (I use Earth Balance)
• 2 eggs OR 3 tsp egg replacer mixed with 4 tbsp water mixed until frothy
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 6 oz chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (or nut of your choice)

1. Mix cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. 
2. In saucepan on low, melt squares of semi-sweet chocolate and squares of unsweetened chocolate with butter.
3. In large bowl mix 2 eggs (or egg replacer) with brown sugar. 
4. Add melted chocolate mixture to egg mixture. 
5. Slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture. 
6. Add chocolate chips and nuts until well mixed. 
7. Drop balls of dough onto cookie sheet and and bake 10-12 minutes

Enjoy!
