Brownie Cookies

Chocolate!  These brownie cookies are super chocolatey (is that even a word?) and the texture is perfect.  It's like a brownie on the inside with a slightly crisp outside...probably why they're called brownie cookies!  I'm not even a huge chocolate fan but I loved these; they might even be my new favorite cookie.  If I were you I would make these asap!

Yields about 30 cookies

Ingredients

466 grams dark chocolate, chopped (about 2 2/3 cups)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

4 eggs

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

 yummy batter!!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, heat the dark chocolate and butter until completely melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and set aside.  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract; whisk until well combined.  In a small bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.  Stir together and set aside.

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk until well combined.  Mix in the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.  Fold in the chocolate chips until evenl distributed. 

Drop scoops of about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, evenly spaced.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are firm on the inside and the dough has lost its sheen (mine took exactly 1o minutes).  Leave to cool completely on baking sheets.  Transfer to wire rack when firmly set, and repeat with any remaining dough, if necessary.
