Martha Stewart–Style Chocolate Cookies
· 30 servings
Melt the chocolate
Warm the butter in a saucepan, then break the chocolate into it. Remove from the heat and let it melt, stirring occasionally.
Dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Egg mixture
Using a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla into a light, fluffy yellow mixture, then stir in the melted chocolate and butter.
Combine with the flour and chocolate
Add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing thoroughly so the dough stays free of lumps. Once the dough is nice and smooth, fold in the remaining chocolate (feel free to mix different types), chopped into both larger and smaller pieces. Stir to combine.
Shape into mounds and bake
Drop mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes.
