Bittersweet Decadence Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside.

3. Place 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate chips and butter in a med. microwavable bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate butter mixture and microwave again for 30 seconds. Continue to microwave and stir until the chips have melted and your mixture is smooth, set aside.

4. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla thoroughly and set the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water using it like a double broiler. Continue to whisk everything until the mixture is lukewarm.

5. Combine the egg mixture and the chocolate mixture (should be lukewarm as well) stirring until they are well combined.

6. Add the flour mixture, 6oz choc. chips, and pecans. Your batter will look like thick cake batter.

7. Scoop dough (it will look very wet and sloppy) into rounded tablespoons on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 2 inches apart from each other. 8. Bake for 14 minutes until the surface of the cookies look dry and set.

9. With the cookies still on the parchment paper, slide them onto racks to cool. Gently peel the parchment paper back after cookies have cooled for at least 30 minutes.
