Outrageous Chocolate Cookies

I've made these cookies several times. They are one of our new favorites! They're from Martha Stewart, so what else would you expect? :) I actually liked my photo better than the one on her website, but don't tell her that!

Outrageous Chocolate Cookies

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a

microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between,

until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl,

whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. 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. 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 sheets 10 minutes; with a thin metal spatula,

transfer to racks to cool completely.
