Barefoot Contessa's Chocolate Peanut Butter Globs

You know that mood you get in where you just need something chocolate?  Yeah, I really needed some chocolate the afternoon I made these.  I had it on my mind all day at work that I would come home and bake something delicious ;)  I stumbled upon these on the foodgawker app and instantly printed the recipe.  I had to collect a few of the ingredients at the store, so once I had everything, I started making the cookies.  
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 

In a double broiler, melt butter, 6 ounces of chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate, stirring until just melted. Remove from the heat and cool for 15 minutes. 
In the bowl of a mixer beat the eggs, espresso powder, and vanilla until combined. Add the sugar, raise the speed to medium-high, and beat for about 2 minutes, until the batter is thick and falls back on itself in a ribbon.

With the mixer on low, slowly add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture. Combine the 1/3 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and fold it into the chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula.

 In another bowl, combine the walnuts, pecans, peanut butter chips, the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips, and the tablespoon of flour and fold it into the chocolate mixture. With 2 tablespoons, drop rounded mounds of batter 1 inch apart onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes exactly. Cool on the baking sheets. 
Prepare yourself to indulge in these cookies everyday with a nice warm cup of coffee until they are gone ;)  Or freeze half if you have some control ;)  
(It will make 20-24 cookies)
