the chocolate in a biscuit coating

Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a double boiler and let cool slightly. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and cappuccino powder until dissolved. Add the sugar and continue stirring until dissolved. Then stir in the butter mixture. In a third bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix with the cappuccino-chocolate mixture to form a soft dough. Chop the remaining chocolate into small cubes, add to the dough, and mix briefly. Cover and let the dough rest for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan-assisted). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Scoop out portions of the dough with a tablespoon, shape into small balls, press down lightly (so that they are about 2 cm high), and place them on the tray. The dough mounds should be about 8 cm apart. Bake the cookies on the middle rack of the oven for 15-17 minutes, until they are shiny. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. The cookies will be very soft after baking—that’s how it should be.
