1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

1 Tbsp. butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1 large egg

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and butter over hot (not boiling) water, stirring until smooth. (I melted mine in the microwave) Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl.

Beat egg and sugar in large mixer bowl at high speed about 3 minutes or until mixture has thickened. Stir in vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture. Gradually blend in flour mixture. Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips. Drop by level tablespoon onto greased baking sheets.

Baked in preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are puffed and tops are cracked and moist (cookies will look slightly underbaked) Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
