Ingredients

• ICING:
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoon milk
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

In bowl of stand mixer beat butter and sugar together until light, scraping sides frequently.

Add in egg and vanilla and continue mixing until incorporated. Mix in baking powder and salt.

Turn mixer to low and slowly add in flour. Dough will be thick.

In a microwave safe bowl heat chocolate chips on high in 30 second increments until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.

Mix melted chocolate directly into cookie dough until evenly mixed. Use a tablespoon to drop onto a greased baking sheet. Put into the preheated oven and cook about about 6 to 7 minutes. Don't overcook. They should be dry to the touch on the top, but still moist in the middle.

In a medium saucepan combine butter, cocoa powder and milk over medium heat, whisking until melted together. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar.

Leave the cookies in the pan and while the cookies are hot, pour icing over cookies and allow icing to set before serving. The cookies get good and chocolately! When the icing is set and the cookies cool, use a spatula to remove the cookies and their icing.

*Make sure not to overbake these cookies. The insides will remain soft and dense if baked correctly.

*Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
