12 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (1/2 stick) butter

DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a double boiler pan, warm the chocolate chips and butter over low/medium heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
4. In a medium mixing bowl add the eggs, vanilla and brown sugar. Beat with a mixer on low speed until blended.
