3 cups chocolate chips

4 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
2 tablespoons vanilla

Steps:

Line baking sheets with wax paper. Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with butter and unsweetened chocolate in top of double boiler over hot, but not boiling water. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs, sugar and coffee in large bowl. Add vanilla and mix on high 2 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate; then stir in dry ingredients. Mix well; then add remaining chips. Drop teaspoons full of batter onto prepared sheets. Bake until cookie surface is cracked and shiny outside, but still soft inside - about 8 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool completely before removing from sheets. Store in airtight container. Notes: Variation: add 2 cups toasted, chopped peacans to batter.
