Double dark chocolate cookies

Because I'm on a dark chocolate kick after my guest post on The Caffeinated Globe I'm continuing the dark chocolate theme and because I forgot that this would go up the day after Halloween when everyone has probably had their fill of chocolate for the entire year.

Dark chocolate cookies with dark chocolate chips, inspired by Martha Stewart's Outrageous cookies. Outrageously good.

Ingredients

8 ounces dark chocolate (I use Trader Joe's Pound Plus 72% cocoa)

4 tablespoons butter

2/3 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

12 ounces dark chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chips)

Directions

Melt the chocolate in the microwave. I melt it for two minutes at half power. Add the butter and zap again for another minute at half power. Mix together and set aside to cool slightly.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.

Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together until light and fluffy. This will take two or three minutes.

Pour the chocolate into the egg mixture and beat it slowly.

Beat in the flour mixture slowly. The cookie batter will look like this.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop by the tablespoon onto a cookie sheet. I like to drop the batter directly onto parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for seven to eight minutes until the cookies are shiny and crackly but still soft in the middle.

Cool on the sheet for three or four minutes before removing the cookies to a cooling rack.

This will make 48 cookies.

Enjoy!
