Bittersweet Decadence Cookies

I baked this back in 2007 and am now revisiting this recipe once again.  There are so many chocolate chip cookies out that that we are spoilt with choices but I promised you that this is to die for.  Yes, I have baked this many times and had always been popular with all.

Nevertheless, anything with dark chocolate and anything with chocolate chips are fondly welcome in my household. 

This time round, my chocolate chip disappeared because I used tiny chocolate chips which was a mistake. 

Whatever it is, now I might have to find a safe place to hid it before it is gone before hubby is back.

What you need

35g plain flour
¼ tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt 
226g bittersweet chocolate , coarsely chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter
