16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or use chocolate chips)
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (maybe a little extra too)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1½ cups (packed) light brown sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 pkg (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips or chunks
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
2. Place chopped chocolate and butter in a large, heatproof (metal or pyrex) bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. (You can also melt in microwave stirring every 30 seconds)
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
4. In a large bowl, with electric mixer beat eggs, brown sugar and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and beat in the melted chocolate mixture. Then mix in dry ingredients and blend just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips or chunks.
5. Drop heaping Tablespoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets, keeping a round shape as much as possible- 2 to 3 inches apart. (I let dough sit for at least 5 minutes before doing this so it hardens a little bit)
6. Bake until cookies are shiny and crackly, yet still soft in the center, 12 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack with a spatula.
Yield: About 3 dozen
Cooking Tips
*These cookies contain a lot of chocolate, and are therefore extremely chocolatey and rich.
