These are very very bad cookies. You must share them.You can't eat them all yourself. Well, you shouldn't eat them all yourself.
1/3 cup flour, all-purpose
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, I use Hershey's
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 squares of semi-sweet Baker's chocolate, chopped fine
1 stick of butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips, or 6 oz package
Preheat oven to 325 and grease your cookie sheets. I use stoneware baking sheets that you don't have to grease and they work fine. In a small-ish bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan melt the butter and the chopped chocolate until smooth, over low heat, and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed until lemon colored and a little frothy. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the chocolate mixture, flour mixture and vanilla until just blended. Add the chocolate mixture slowly as not to cook the eggs! Turn back to medium speed and beat for about two minutes. Then stir in chocolate chips with wooden spoon.
Drop in teaspoon size amounts onto baking sheet about two inches apart. Take a small metal spatula and spread out, so they aren't in a glob. Bake about 15 minutes. They are done when the cookies are cracked and shiny. Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove and continue to cool on wire rack. If you can wait that long.
