A super-rich, brownie-like cookie. Perfect for dunking - pour the milk! Yield: 3-4 doz. small cookies Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large bowl, cream butter. When light and fluffy, add sugars and cream well. In a medium bowl, sift together dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt. Add eggs to batter, one at a time. In a small bowl in the microwave, melt semisweet chocolate. Add melted chocolate to the dough. Add sifted dry ingredients gradually. Add vanilla extract. Stir in chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
