Fab Fudgy Cookies

The batter on these is very fudge-like. Then you pop the cookies in the oven and they become chewy with a really moist middle. I actually made them last night. Delish!

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Melt the chips and butter in a double boiler. You may also melt in microwave but be careful not to burn! Set aside.

Beat egg and sugar with a mixer. When light and fluffy, beat in a salt and vanilla. Gradually beat in the slightly cooled chocolate.

Stir the flour and baking powder together, then add to the egg mixture and stir until mixed.
Batter won’t be stiff enough to use at this point.
Chill batter for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Form batter into balls. Bake for 6-10 minutes. Best served warm. To reheat, just pop one in the microwave for a few seconds.

These sounds sinfully good. These would be perfect for the time of month that I MUST have chocolate! ;0)

I forgot to post that my mom and I made these a few weeks ago... they were supposed to be for a party but they didn't last that long. YUM!
