Instructions

Place unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and the butter in a large, heat-safe bowl on top of a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whip eggs, and sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and the chocolate mixture until well mixed. Pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate and stir to combine. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour. Stir until combined and smooth. Fold in the remaining chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour. When you’re ready to bake preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and using a medium (2 tablespoons) sized cookie scoop, the portion of the dough, dropping onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. If you do not have a cookie scoop, you can portion out the dough with a spoon and roll into balls before placing onto the baking sheet. Allow cookies to cool on tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

They are gummy when they’re warm, and when they cool they are thick and rich. I bet these would be great with a cup of milk! Hmm. Yum! Enjoy baking!
