1 c Butter; divided
2 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
2 1/4 c Flour
1/2 ts Soda
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Dark brown sugar; packed
1/2 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Raisins
1 c Semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 300°F. In a double-boiler over hot but not boiling
water, melt 1/2 cup butter and the chocolate. Remove from heat and
set aside. In medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. In a
large bowl with an electric mixer blend sugars at medium speed
until fluffy. Add the remaining 1/2 cup butter and mix to form a
grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and
vanilla, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add
melted chocolate and blend until thoroughly combined. Add the flour
mixture, raisins, and chocolate chips. Blend just until combined.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets 2" apart.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until set. Transfer to cool, flat
surface immediately with a spatula.
