Thanks to Better Homes & Gardens for this recipe. Love these cookies, but I love chocolate. Not hard to make. I'm not a baker and I had no problems. If you have kids, they'll be GONE. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (softened)
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup dark chocolate (chopped) or 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate (chopped)
powdered sugar (to garnish) (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat 350°F.
2. Cream together butter & sugar.
3. Add cocoa powder, eggs & vanilla. Mix well.
4. In separate bowl, combine flour & baking powder. Gradually add to butter mixture.
5. Shape dough into 1 balls. Using your thumb, press into the center. Fill with a piece of chocolate & fold dough over to cover chocolate.
6. Place balls 2 apart on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are firm, but tops are still soft. Remove and cool. Dust with powder sugar, if desired.
