~ Chocolate Therapy Cookies ~
8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
6 T butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 t vanilla
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl set over (but not touching) barely simmering
water, stir chopped semisweet chocolate and butter often
until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 5
minutes. Remove bowl from over water and, with a whisk or
a mixer on medium speed, beat in the sugar, egg, and vanilla
until well blended. 2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking
soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture and
stir until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough
in 1 tablespoon portions 3 inches apart onto buttered 12x15
inch baking sheets. Bake just until cookies are set on the
edges but still slightly soft in the center, 7 - 10 minutes;
if baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions
halfway through baking. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes, then use
a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies
