Fudge Crackles

Chewy, fudgy cookies. Three kinds of chocolate plus walnuts. Not your usual chocolate cookie, as these get their texture from eggs, rather than flour. Very rich, very beautiful, very easy to eat.

Additional Notes
The article about vanilla mentioned in this podcast is from Cook’s Illustrated, the January-February 2019 issue.
Their top choice for vanilla flavor is Baker’s Imitation Vanilla Flavor, because when you make it from scratch, you can put in as much flavor as you like. The kind made from real beans depends on the quality of the beans for flavor.
