This is an award winning (Best In Show) recipe that a friend of mine won with. It's super yummy!! Ingredients:
4 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided |
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
1 cup sugar |
3 large eggs |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a microwave or double broiler, melt unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup (6 oz.) chocolate chips, and butter; cool for 10 minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and eggs for two minutes. Beat in vanilla and the cooled chocolate mixture.
3. Combine dry ingredients (except confectioners sugar); beat into chocolate mixture.
4. Stir in remaining chocolate chips.
5. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
6. Remove 1 cup of dough. With lightly floured hands, roll into 1 balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
7. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly puffed and set. Cool on baking sheet 3-4 minutes before moving to wire rack to cool completely.
8. Repeat with remaining dough.
9. Dust with confectioners sugar.
10. (If you want to save time and skip the chilling step, unchilled dough can be dropped directly into mini-muffin tins and baked for about the same length of time.
