Ingredients

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon water
2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

In a microwave, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips and oil; stir until smooth. Pour into a large bowl; cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in brown sugar. Add egg whites, corn syrup, water and vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, 2/3 cup confectioners' square, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture until combined. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips (dough will be very stiff).
