I found this recipe on mybakingaddiction.com and adapted it to suit my personal tastes. If you love chocolate as much as I do, then this will be perfect for you.
Ingredients
1 2/3 cups dark chocolate chips, divided use (I used 1 slab of milk and 1 slab of dark Lindt chocolate cut into pieces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Stork baking margarine, softened
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 170º C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2/3 cup chocolate pieces (half milk, half dark) on medium power for 30 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave and stir in 15 second intervals until chocolate is just melted. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate and mix until thoroughly combined. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, mixing just until blended. Stir in remaining 1 cup of chocolate pieces. Using a medium cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoons) drop dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes until tops have a cracked appearance. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
5. Eat!!
