TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE BY MERCEDE HOLTAN

 1 1/4 c flour                                              1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt                                                   1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp grd cloves                                   1/2 c unsalted butter

2 large eggs                                                 1 lg egg yolk

1 c brown sugar                                        2 tsp vanilla

6 oz semisweet chocolate chips         6 oz white chocolate chips

6 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped.

Combine dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.  Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Remove from heat.  Add the bittersweet choolate, stirring until melted.  Set aside.

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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Form dough balls about 2" each.  Put on prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple inches between the cookies.  Bake until outside is crackly, but the center is still moist, about 13-15 minutes.  Cool on rack and enjoy.
