Outrageous Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Outrageous Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients:

• 8 oz semisweet chocolate chunks
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 package (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chunks

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
3. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (or serve warm with ice cream!)

Cook's Notes:

Don't worry if the batter seems thin. It should look like a brownie batter, so let it sit for 5 minutes and it should start to thicken up. But don't freak out if it isn't what your normal thick dough looks like :)

Do not over bake these cookies... they are meant to be soft and chewy.
