Double Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:
1 (12-oz) package semisweet chocolate chunks
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
10 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp instant coffee granules (Go here for free samples of instant coffee)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Cream butter with sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time; then stir in coffee granules and vanilla until well blended.

Stir in melted chocolate. Using wooden spoon, stir in dry ingredients just until blended. Cover and let stand for 35 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I halved it, and used some semisweet chocolate chips and some baking chocolate. Other than that, nothing.

What I'll do differently next time:
Same as above.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Very good and so easy to make! These had kind of a brownie texture to them, which I liked. Tasty!
