INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, frozen 1 hour 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced, room temperature 1 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped



1 Preheat oven to 375 F. Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt in small bowl to blend. Coarsely chop 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips in processor. With machine running, add butter, then 1/2 cup sugar through feed tube. Add egg yolk and both extracts and process to blend. Using on/off turns, mix in walnuts, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add flour mixture and process just until dough comes together, about 1 minute. Transfer dough to large bowl.
