3. Remove bowl from over water; whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
4. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Wonderful! These even survived a slight improvisition (blush) because I didn't have quite enough bittersweet chocolate ( I added a little cocoa powder and some extra white choc chips) They turned out great! my 6 year old DD helped roll them out - we made balls and flattened them ever so slightly and the result is a very rich chocolatey cookie. Indeed these are so rich that I think I will roll these half size next time. Don't try and remove these too quickly from the oven tray the mixture is rather soft at first and needs to cool a little longer than I thought to be firm enough to transfer to the cooling rack ..we broke the first ones we tried to move too early. Delicious ! Please see my rating system: 4 excellent stars for a wonderful chocolate Birthday treat ! Thanks !
