Soft-n-Chewy-Just-Like-a-Brownie Cookies

12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 c. all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

6 T. unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 c. granulated sugar

1/2 c. light brown sugar, packed

3 large eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted, then let cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until ightened in color. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined. With mixer on low, alternately beat in chocolate and flour mixtures. Mix until combined, but don't overmix.

Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cookie comes out clean, about 14-16 minutes. (You can bake 2 sheets at a time.) Transfer to wire racks to cool. Makes 34.
