OMG Chocolate Cookie

Ingredients

2 bars of green and black 85% dark chocolate bars, 3.5 oz each
1 stick of unsalted butter
2 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
pinch of salt
4 large eggs
2 cups of raw sugar
1 teaspoon of real vanilla extract
Powder sugar
Can of Green and Blacks Cocoa powder

Directions
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a double boiler place chocolate bars, broken up and butter; keep over the heat until 2/3 of the way melted, then remove and whisk until smooth.
In the stand mixer place eggs, vanilla and raw sugar and beat until smooth. Now slowly add the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. The chocolate should be cool enough not to cook the eggs, but just in case add the chocolate mixture very slowly. Once combined and smooth add flour mixture a third at a time. Once all combined, remove bowl from mixer, cover and chill for at least 4 hours, it is best over night.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Next mix equal parts of powder sugar to cocoa powder into a bowl.
With your hands, roll the dough into 1 inch balls, drop into powder sugar/cocoa powder mixture to coat. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets, about 2 inches part, slightly flatten to prevent them from rolling around. Only roll enough at a time to bake, these do not do well if they sit a room temp prior to baking.
Bake for about 12 minutes; once the start to crackle on top and the surface is dry to the touch. You should be able to left the edge of a cookie with a spatula and it holds together. Remove from the oven and with a bit of quickness slide the cookies and parchment paper from cookie sheet onto a cooling rack.
Note: leave cookies cooling for at least 2 hours prior to storing - store in alternating layers of wax paper to cookie.

You can also just roll the cookies prior to baking in just powder sugar as well and they are just as good.
