Chocolate Fudge Cookies

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, fine chopped or chips
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 stick slightly salted butter, softened
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 oz. white chocolate coarse chopped, or chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degree F. Grease two baking sheets or line with nonstick baking parchment.

2. Melt the chocolate in a microwave for approximately one minute. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in the cooled chocolate and fold in flour until combined.

4. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough spaced two inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake for eighteen to twenty minutes. Cool on the sheet for one minute and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Melt the white chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave for thirty to forty-five seconds. When the cookies are cool, dip a fork into melted chocolate and drizzle over the cookies. Leave on wire racks to set the topping. Then store the cookies in an airtight container.
