2 2/3 cup (16 ounces) semisweet chocolate chopped 1/4 cup unsalted butter 4 eggs 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 cup chocolate chips Printer-Friendly Version

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them lightly with cooking spray.

In a small sauce pan combine the chocolate and butter then melt it on medium low heat stirring it occasionally. While that's melting combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and set it aside. As soon as the chocolate mixture is smooth add it to the egg mixture and mix it well. In a small bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder then add it slowly to the large bowl folding it until it's incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Scoop about a tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet for each cookie and bake them for 10 – 12 minutes. They should be firm on the outside yet soft on the inside like actual brownies. Let them cool off a minute or two before transferring them to a cooling rack other wise they're stick to the parchment paper.

Aaaaand enjoy!
