Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large mixer bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool. Mix at high speed and beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients. Mix until just blended. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour until dough is easy to handle.



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 12-13 minutes and NO longer. Cookies should come out of the oven looking slightly underdone. They will crisp when cool.
