BLACK AND WHITES

Steps:

• 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.
