MASTER RECIPE: GOOEY DARK CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Combine 10 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate, 2 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate and ¼ cup butter in the top of a double boiler. Cook slowly over low heat, stirring often, until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove mixture from heat; cool 5 minutes. Whisk in 3 large eggs and 1 cup sugar; mix to combine. Stir in ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Remove dough from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Scoop dough into 1 tablespoon portions; using hands, shape each portion into a ball. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until they no longer look wet on top. Cool cookies on baking sheets. Makes about 40 cookies.
