Our family of chocolate lovers gets triply excited when these cookies come out of the oven. They have the texture and taste of fudge brownies, and the chocolate chip-based drizzle make them look so tempting.

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter, cubed
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons shortening

Directions

In a microwave melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture and mix well. Stir in 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 350°. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 7-9 minutes or until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a microwave, melt remaining chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container.

Such a chocolaty cookie. They really do have the texture of a brownie. I made them for my son's class and, as expected, none came home! This recipe is a keeper.

I won Taste of Home's brownie contest years ago and these brownie cookies are wonderful! They taste like really good brownies! I like them better than my chocolate cookie recipes.

These are sooo good. I made half the drizzle and for the remaining half of the cookies I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. My husband preferred the ones with powdered sugar-however-he ate all of them regardless of the topping.

I've made these cookies twice and they are just to die for! Even my husband who's not much of a fan of sweets can't stop munching on these bad boys :)

The first time I made these was for a cookie exchange at my church. They were such a hit that every year I get requests to make them again. My son-in-law begs for his own batch. The only thing I change is eliminating the shortening for the drizzle.

I bakes these only 7 min. and they came out just the way I like brownies - just a little bit underdone.

Super good, I did modify by shaking alot of powdered sugar instead of drizzling chocolate on top

Although I love chocolate, I did change a little bit. On the second batch, instead of drizzling with more chocolate, I sprinkled powdered sugar on top.
