Favorite Recipe: Triple Chocolate Cookies

Each Tuesday, there is a girls' night for all of the significant others in the MBA program that one of the spouses, Carla, put together. Two weeks ago was game night, last week was a recipe night where we each brought our favorite recipes (oh right, I didn't have time and brought pretzels with MnMs) and this week, Kelly will be hosting a chocolate bash at her place. A couple of the actual MBA female students were invited to these spousal bashes since we are such a blast so therefore, Rachel (my roommate) and I make our way to the party each Tuesday excited for some relaxed and non-competitive fun. As we are with 100+ men each day, we cherish our Tuesdays!
Since this week was a chocolate bash, I made Triple Chocolate Cookies. They are delicious although this may be slightly biased, but I do think they will be a hit once the party happens. 

Here is the recipe taken from the Food Network Kitchen:

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (I left this out as reviewers had mixed opinions on whether or not this added to the recipe)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large yolk (ha- i just threw another egg in)
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 6 ounces white chocolate chips

Directions

Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cloves together in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove pan from the heat, add the bittersweet chocolate, then set aside until melted.

Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla together in a medium bowl, then slowly whisk in chocolate. Stir in the flour mixture to make a loose dough. Don't overwork the dough. Fold in the chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 if convection option is available).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form dough into balls, about 2 inches or 1 1/2 ounces each, and put on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple inches between the cookies. Bake until outside is crackly, but the center is still moist, about 13 to 15 minutes, or 12 in convection. Cool on a rack.
