    \n
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped<\/li>\n
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/li>\n
  • 2\/3 cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
  • 3\/4 cup packed light-brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    1. \nPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in
      \na microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between,
      \nuntil almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together
      \nflour, baking powder, and salt.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \nIn a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high
      \nspeed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted
      \nchocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate
      \nchunks.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \nDrop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking
      \nsheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny
      \nand crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 10
      \nminutes; with a thin metal spatula, transfer to racks to cool
      \ncompletely.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      ***My notes:  1- I used chocolate chips to melt, and then let the melted mixture cool a bit before adding it to the batter.   2- I mixed the egg\/sugar\/vanilla mixture for quite a while, maybe 4 min? and it definitely got lighter, though not so "fluffy".  After adding everything, the batter still seemed runny, so I added an additional 1\/3 c or so of flour, and chilled the mixture for 15 min before dropping it onto the pan.  They were PERFECT.  Very much like little brownie cookies!<\/div>\n
