Preparation

Step 1

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour; mix well. Refrigerate 1 hour, or until dough is easy to handle.

SHAPE dough into 1-inch balls; place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets.

BAKE 8 min. or just until set. (Do not overbake.) Let stand on baking sheet 1 min.; transfer to wire racks. Cool completely.

For best results, use butter. If using margarine, add an additional 1/2 cup flour.

Microwave an additional 30 sec. or until chocolate is melted and mixture is shiny and smooth. Let stand 15 min. to thicken. Spread or drizzle over cooled cookies. Let stand 40 min. or until glaze is set.
