Heavenly Dark Chocolate Cookies

By BuffieBelinda

The chocolateliest cookies you will ever eat! A cross between the best part of a brownie...the corners....crunchy and chewy on the outside and soft on the inside, and a cookie. I often make a cookie dough, bake a dozen or so, and place the rest of the dough back in the fridge or freezer. That way, I can pull out them out and make warm, yummy cookies whenever I have the craving.

Ingredients

• 4 oz unsweetened chocolate bar, chopped
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

• 2 tsp baking powder
