Author Notes
Chocolate is the star of the show with these cookies. The key is to use high quality dark chocolate and just a little flour to bind the batter. A generous number of eggs contributes to the light and airy results which showcase the intensely chocolate flavor of the cookies. No need for extra spices or flavors, it's all about the chocolate. —TasteFood
