Chocolate Pixies

Recipe View Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat. (5-7 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, beat granulated sugar and eggs with an electric mixer until light and smooth. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined. (3-5 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up. (2+ hours)

Recipe View When ready to bake, preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.

Recipe View Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into small balls. Roll each ball generously in confectioners' sugar, coating completely. Place the sugared dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and the edges appear slightly set. Rotate the cookie sheets halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. (12-15 minutes)

Recipe View Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
