Chocolate Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

225 grams semi sweet chocolate chips 

1.25 cups flour

1.33 cups brown sugar

115 grams butter (1 stick)

0.5 cups cocoa

0.5 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

0.25 cups milk

Preheat oven to 160 C.

Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips. If you don't have a double boiler, bring a pan of water to a simmer and place a smaller pan into the water. Add chocolate and allow to melt. 

Wilde Oscar says: Melting chocolate is extremely fickle. If any water gets inside the chocolate will seize up into clumps. That's why you can't let the water boil.   

In a bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar until well mixed. Use a beater if necessary. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix. Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, mix into the batter.

Mix in dry ingredients, alternating with milk. When dough forms, place in fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.

Remove from fridge and roll dough into logs, about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and return to fridge to chill again for a half hour.

Remove, from fridge and cut into discs, about 0.5 inch thickness. Dip first into white sugar then into icing sugar until completely coated. No brown dough should be showing!

Place about 1.5 inches apart on a greased cookies pan, and place in oven at 160C for ~8 minutes. Remove, and allow to cool.
