Black and White (Cookies)

Currently chilling in my fridge is a batch of Black and White Cookies. I will be baking them at 10 pm (because I waited to start making them and then forgot I had to chill them), so pictures will be up later tonight!

But first, here is the recipe!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter (or 1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour

Set aside, 1/2 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the chocolate chips and butter.

2. Mix in sugar and let cool. Then proceed to add eggs, mixing after each one. Mix in vanilla, baking powder and salt. Add flour and mix.

3. Chill dough for 4 hours (or overnight).

4. Preheat oven to 350 degress F when ready to bake.

5. Roll walnut sized balls. Dip in powdered sugar and coat.

6. Place balls on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.
*Notes* Alright, here's a few suggestions I have so far.
-I think it probably would have been best to chill these overnight. I don't think the dough was as hard as it could or should have been to roll them.
-I'm not even half way done cooking my cookies and already I've probably used 1/2 a cup of powdered sugar. I'll probably end up using an entire cup to coat all the cookies.
-This dough is quick to melt! So I suggest putting it back in the fridge for awhile. That's where mine is right now.
Now, onto the pictures.



EDIT!

I liked these cookies (like a lot. I really want to make more...), but some people at my job (my test subjects :D ), did not.

It is kinda like a crunchy cookie on the first bite, but once you reach the middle, it's very soft and sooooo good.

    Anyway, good luck with theses cookies, they sound yum!
