Serving Size: about 40

Ingredients

2 Large chocolate bars or 1.5 cups of bittersweet chocolate.
3tsp unsweetened cocoa
1tsp baking soda
3/4c brown sugar
1c butter (2 sticks) (soft or microwaved)
2 eggs
1/2tsp salt
3/4c sugar
2 1/4c flower
2tsp vanilla
1/2c chopped walnuts
Of course: 3tsp (about 1/3 sample tin) dry gunpowder tea

Directions
Set the oven to 375 and take out the butter and put on a cup of water to boil

Mix the flower, soda and salt in a medium bowl

Pour boiling water over the gunpowder in a bowl gradually until it has expanded fully.

Bake the tea briefly until dry on a small tray, lifting it from the water and spreading it out.

Mix the butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and tea with a mixer until they are smooth, than gradually add the dry mixture, chocolate, cocoa and nuts.

Spoon into small cookies on two large trays and bake for 8-12 minutes.
