These are some of my favorite cookies to make... 
they're tasty & look fun! Essentially, what we're working with is a chocolate cookie dough, with chocolate chips, rolled into balls, covered in confectionery sugar, & baked into crackley perfection!

They come out of the oven hot, 
falling apart, dangerously fudgey & chewey. 
Within my circle, we've come to call them Chocolate Crackle Cookies, but I originally got the recipe from Nestle's baking website, where they're called "Firecracker Fudge Cookies". Once you make these cookies once, you'll want to again, they're so simple & delicious! First, you're going to melt 1c chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli semi-sweet, but of course Nestle wants you to use Nestle....) I use a double-boiler to melt the chocolate so you don't risk burning or otherwise negatively impacting the chocolate. Stir that together until homogenous & set aside to cool.....go back to it every few minutes just to keep it smooth & consistent. Sift together 1 1/2 c flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, & 1/2 tsp kosher salt. In a separate bowl cream together 6 tbs butter & 1c sugar. Once light & fluffy, mix in 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, followed by 2 eggs (1 at a time). 1st mix the cooled chocolate into the butter mixture, then slowly add the flour mixture. Finally, mix in an additional 1c chocolate chips: let the dough cool for at least 1 hour before rolling into 1-inch balls. Once all the dough is rolled out, use about 1/2c confectionery sugar to completely cover each piece of dough. Place well spaced on a cookie tray (I usually line with parchment paper) & bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool.... or not....& ENJOY!
