Insane but Delectable Cookies

These are honestly the wierdest cookies I have EVER made. They are a cross between fudge, cookies and brownies. They are from the Martha Stewart website.

"Outrageous Chocolate Cookies"

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until almost melted; do not overheat.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy (very crucial: Must be shiny and fluffy-it takes awhile). Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.

Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes (cook until just barely crackly on top). The dough is seriously like brownie batter, so you didn't do it wrong.

Cool on sheets 10 minutes; with a thin metal spatula, transfer to racks to cool completely.

These are seriously 'TO DIE' for.
