Here's a snack for serious chocolate lovers. These enticing cookies are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, somewhat bittersweet and very chocolaty. I usually make them to share at get-togethers...otherwise, I'd eat them all myself! I'm always asked for the recipe. -Delaine Fortenberry, McComb, Mississippi Ingredients:
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided |
1/3 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a microwave or double boiler, melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of chocolate chips and butter; cool for 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl, beat sugar and eggs for 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla and the chocolate mixture.
3. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; beat into chocolate mixture. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
