Instructions
- Melt chocolate chips and butter in double boiler over low heat, stirring until smooth but thick. Remove from heat; set aside to cool. (I stuck mine in the fridge for faster cooling)
- In large bowl beat eggs, sugar and vanilla on high speed until pale yellow and slightly thickened. (I beat it by hand with a whisk and it was fine)
- Mix in chocolate on low speed. Stop and scrape bowl.
- Add flour and baking powder on low speed just until incorporated, stopping once to scrape bowl. (Again I did it all by hand and it turned out right consistency)
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. (this will set the dough to form cookies later)
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Scoop 8 2in. mounds onto parchment lined cookie sheet leaving 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until crusty on the outside but soft in center. (Took second batch out after 10min and they where even better)
- Cool on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes. Best when served warm.
If you don't have a double boiler you can melt the chocolate chips in the microwave: Heat chips and butter in microwave safe bowl at medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring well after 1 minute initially, then at 30 second intervals until smooth.
