    8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/4 cup milk, 2 cups flour
  • Use cookie scoop to make 24 balls and place in zip top bag. Place bag in freezer while you prep chocolate.
  • In a heavy saucepan, add chopped dark chocolate and turn stove to medium low. Stir periodically until chocolate is almost fully melted. Remove from heat and stir to melt the last small bits.
    8 ounces dark chocolate
  • While chocolate is melting, roll dough into smooth balls and place on silpat or parchment paper. If dough sticks to your hands, return to freezer for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Once balls are rolled, drop one by one into the melted chocolate to coat, shaking off excess. Place on silpat to harden.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • The melted chocolate will have "extra" left over. Use the melted chocolate to make chocolate bark by pouring it onto a silpat and smoothing, then immediately adding toppings. Let harden, then break into pieces for an added bonus.
