Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

My sister-in-law, Regina, makes these.

1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped almonds, optional

Preheat oven to 350F.  In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla.  Stir the melted chocolate and sour cream into the creamed mixture.  In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.  Stir in white chocolate chips and nuts.  Drop batter by the tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake 12-14 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes.  Transfer to wire rack and cool completely.  Yield:  5 dozen cookies.
