Dessert: Terribly Delicious Extreme Chocolate Cookies

Looking for any excuse to use sprinkles and eat chocolate, I found this recipe on the dessert blog Sweetapolita. It is fairly simple and other than the bittersweet chocolate, you should have most of these baking supplies in your cupboards. Also it only makes 12 cookies so you can't eat too many :)

Cookie Recipe:

1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Melt 1 cup of chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with an inch of hot water (not boiling water).

2. Mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

3. Combine sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

4. Mix all ingredients together in one bowl and add remaining 1/2 cup of chopped chocolate.

5. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

A poor blogger's version of a double boiler!

Chocolate Glaze:

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon corn syrup

1. Melt all ingredients in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with an inch of water. Melt until smooth.

2. Dip cooled cookie in chocolate glaze and dip into your choice of sprinkles.

I'd call that  Rick's Dozen because my dad couldn't wait until I sprinkled them.

 Enjoy these chocolate cookies with chocolate milk :)
