Triple-Chocolate Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, cubed

4 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup baking cocoa

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided

2 teaspoons shortening

Preheat oven to 350*. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate; cool. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, add sugar and eggs. Beat until smooth. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle. Drop by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat shortening and remaining chocolate chips on high for 1 minute or until chips are melted. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container. Yield 6 dozen.
