Ingredients
8 oz semi sweet chocolate
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup softened salted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup cup of milk
1 1/2 cup light brown sugar
granulated and powdered sugar for rolling
Directions
- Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, so that it fits on top of the pot, but it is not touching the water.
- Chop the chocolate into smaller pieces so that it will melt more evenly. Add to the heatproof
bowl and start melting the chocolate, stirring frequently. - Once melted, transfer the melted chocolate to a different bowl to cool. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture, then gradually add in the flour and milk, alternating between each addition.
- Divide the dough in two and form logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Form the cookie dough into balls and flatten slightly between your palms. Roll in granulated sugar first, then coat with powdered sugar.
- Bake for about 14 minutes, let cool before eating.
