Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened, 1 1/2 stick
  • 2 cups sugar white
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup confectioner sugar

Method

  • Put chocolate in aluminum bowl.
  • Heat some water in wok or sauce pan.
  • Make sure the bowl of chocolate will fit in.
  • Once the water boils, shift the heat to simmering mode and put your bowl on top.
  • Melt chocolate, stir and make sure without any lump. Turn off the heat.
  • In a mixer, throw butter and sugar and mix until soft and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time until the color is pale yellow. Add vanilla and melted chocolate and mix until blended.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to the mixing bowl.
  • Do not over mix, the goal is just to mix and make it blend.
  • The dough is sticky so refrigerate it for one hour.
  • Drop a tsp or a tbsp and roll in icing sugar. ( I use a tsp..I like small ones..)
  • Bake at 350 or 180 for 10 to 12 minutes.
