## Editor's Notes
- **"Sweet chocolate"** — period term for sweet or semi-sweet baking chocolate. 1/2 lb Baker's German Sweet Chocolate broken or chopped into rough chunks is the period-authentic interpretation; modern semi-sweet chocolate chips are an equivalent substitute. Treated as chunks stirred into the dough rather than melted, consistent with the "stir in" instruction placement at the end of the mixing sequence.
- **Nuts** — quantity and variety not specified on original car -
