1/2 cu. butter at room temperature
1/3 cu. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cu. flour
1/2 cu. semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Icing:
1/2 cu.butter
2 tbl.cocoa powder
3 tbl. milk
2 1/2 cu. powdered sugar
Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat, set aside.
Beat butter and sugar in a bowl together until light, scraping sides frequently.
Add in egg and vanilla, continue mixing until incorporated. Mix in baking powder and salt.
Mix on low and slowly add in flour. Dough will be thick.
In a microwave safe bowl heat chocolate chips on high in 30 second increments until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds.
Mix melted chocolate directly into cookie dough until evenly mixed.
Drop dough by a measured tablespoon sized mounds onto baking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes until cookies just appear set. They will still be very soft on the inside. DO NOT overbake!!
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Icing:
In a medium saucepan, combine butter, cocoa powder and milk over medium heat, whisking until melted together. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar.
Pour icing over cookies and allow icing to set before serving.
