Black And Whites - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour (not sifted)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (in a small bowl)

Preparation

Do not preheat oven yet - dough mush chill before baking.
Melt chocolate chips with butter. (Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth).
Mix in sugar.
Allow to cool.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla, baking powder and salt.
Add flour & mix well.
Chill dough for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle position.
Roll walnut-sized dough balls with you hands (this is messy, you might want to wear plastic gloves).
Drop the balls into the bowl of confectioners' sugar & roll them around until they are covered.
If dough gets too warm, stick it back into the fridge until you can handle it again.
Place the balls on a cookie sheet (12 to a standard sheet works best).
Do not flatten - they will flatten as they bake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Eat and enjoy.
