Time 22m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons espresso powder (I didn't use) (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter together (double boiler or microwave). Stir until well melted.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until thoroughly combined. Add the espresso powder (optional), vanilla, baking powder and salt, then stir into melted chocolate, mixing well.
  • Stir in the flour. Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to thicken; it should be the consistency of thick cake batter.
  • Drop the cookie dough in round blobs onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches in between dough balls (mine were never "balls" but more liquidy). You may place a nonpareil or kiss in the middle, if desired (I didn't).
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes,until the tops are shiny and cracked. You want them to bake all the way through but just barely; additional baking time will make them cakey and not fudgy.
  • Remove cookies from oven, wait 5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to cool.
