Step 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted.

Step 4. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients.
Step 5. Then in a large bowl, beat together the butter and both of the sugar together. I like to use a stand or a hand mixer.

Step 15. Mix until completely blended together.
Step 16. Divide this mixture into 12 even size balls. Flatten them out and refrigerate.
Step 17. Remove the cookies from the oven. Use a spoon to create a small dip in the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes.
