Instructions: Adjust two racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place the chocolate on a cutting board and with a long, heavy, sharp knife, cut the chocolate first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, makiing uneven 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch (or larger) pieces. Set aside.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until soft. Beat in the salt and vanilla, then the sugar, until well-mixed. Add the egg and beat, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, until well-mixed. Then, on low speed, add the flour and beat until incorporated. Remove from the mixer.

With a heavy wooden spoon, stir in the chopped chocolate (and 4 oz of chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired). The mixture will be thick and sticky. Use 2 teaspoons to shape the cookies, one for picking up dough and one for pushing it off. Use a rounded teaspoonful of dough for each cookie. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the lined sheets.

Bake 2 sheets at a time 8-10 minutes, reversing the sheets top to bottom and front to back as necessary to ensure even browning. Bake only until the edges of the cookies start to brown. Let cookies rest for a minute on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack using a wide metal spatula.
