They are like "chocolate bricks" -said by VW

You can find the original recipe HERE

but I will repost it with my change in-case you don't feel like taking the extra step!

                                                                                  Yield: 12 very large cookies

Ingredients:1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cubed {mine was almost room temp}

1¼ cup sugar

2 large eggs

½ cup dark cocoa powder  {i used regular--hence the lighter color of my cookies}

2¼ cups all-purpose flour

¼ tsp. coarse salt {i used kosher}

1 tsp. baking powder

2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips {i might have overloaded the cups}

                                                               Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.  

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar.  Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.  Blend in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed.  

Mix in the cocoa powder until well blended.  

Add the flour, salt and baking powder {mix it in a small bowl beforehand} to the bowl and mix on low speed just until incorporated.  

Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.  

Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead briefly by hand to be sure the ingredients are well combined.

Divide the dough into 4 ounce portions (or divide into 12 equal pieces).  Roll each portion of dough into a ball and flatten just slightly into a disc.  Place on the prepared baking sheets, a few inches apart. 

Bake 16-20 minutes.  Let cool on the baking sheets 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

The child loved them!!
