Half Pound Chocolate Chunk Cookies
230g ~ cake flour ( you can use pastry flour or sift all purpose flour so only finely milled

2 eggs
3 egg yolks
165g ~ walnuts (toasted and rough chop if they are walnuts halves)
1lb ~chopped chocolate (Baking chocolate bars of varying cacao percentage for best results)
- I used (1- 60 % bar, 1 - 100% bar and 2 - semi-sweet)
- If you use a 100% cacao bar, chop finely to have a more even distribution)
(Hand mixer or stand mixer will make this easy, but this can be done by hand too)
