Delicious Fudgey Cookies

I don't usually love chocolate cookies. They taste too...waxy or something to me. Yes, I am picky about my sweets! But these cookies are de-licious! I ate almost a whole dozen of them out of the oven. <hanging head in shame...no will power here> I discovered the recipe from this website. With a cold glass of milk...mmmm....Makes about 3 dozen.

Delicious Fudgey Cookies

2 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
4 1-oz unsweetened chocolate squares, melted and cooled to room temperature
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c baking chips of your choice: milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter (white chocolate are not very good)...or chopped Reese's Peanut Butter cups or Milky Way...or whatever you'd like!

1. Combine sugar, oil, and chocolate in large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat at low speed.
2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add about 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time, mixing on low speed until well blended. Stir in baking chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop medium spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly, and bake about 10 minutes. Let cool 1 minute then place on rack or waxed paper to cool.

There's a video this website how to make one large cookie out of 2/3 of the dough. I like the cookies best, but this is pretty scrumptious, too! I used this buttercream frosting recipe.

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above, except omit baking chips if using frosting (unless you want the extra texture, use a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips).
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Take 2/3 of the dough and place in 8" pie pan. Flatten and form into a circle, but don't let touch dough to edges. Place a piece of aluminum foil over pie pan and cover loosely.
4. Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and pierce with toothpick. Cook, uncovered, until toothpick comes out crumbly. Be very careful not to overcook! It's better for it to be too gooey than an overdone brick. Let cool.
