BALTIMORE BERGER COOKIES

COOKIES
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs baking powder
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
4 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup milk

ICING
3 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2 tbs light corn syrup
4 tbs unsalted butter
1½ cup heavy cream

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F
Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

COOKIES
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together:
- butter, salt, vanilla, and baking powder.
- Beat in: sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add flour to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour (do this gently; there’s no need to beat the batter).
- Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Flatten each mound of dough to a circle about 3" across, form into football shapes
- Leave 2" to 2 1/2" between each cookie, for expansion
- Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes, until they are brown on the bottom (carefully tilt one up to look), but not colored on top. These cookies are supposed to be soft and cake-like, don’t over-bake them.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

ICING
- Into a saucepan place:
- Chocolate chips, baking chocolate, corn syrup, butter, and cream.
- Heat the mixture till it’s very hot; the cream will start to form bubbles.
- Remove from the heat, and stir until smooth.
- Let cool to room temperature; this will take at least a couple of hours
- When completely cool, beat with an electric mixer for 6 to 7 minutes, until the icing lightens in color just a bit, and thickens just slightly.
- Spread each cookie with a generous 3 tablespoons icing, leave ¼" bare around the outside edge of each cookie.
- Allow to set
