until just melted. Remove from the heat and let cool until room temperature.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. In a separate stainless steel mixing bowl,
add all dry ingredients and whisk
together. Add to the chocolate mixture.
Let stand for 10 minutes. For most baking recipes, we use a bench scraper to easily
cut dough and scrape the bench! Divide the dough and roll each piece into 1
inch balls and drop into powdered sugar or chopped nuts. Baker on pregreased cookie sheets at 350
degrees F. for 10 to 14 minutes, quickly remove from
the sheets with spatula and let
cook on a cooling rack.
