Chocolate Pixies

Step 1
Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat.

Step 2
Beat sugar and eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in melted chocolate mixture.

Step 3
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients with a spoon until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 4
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300 degrees (150 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets.

Step 5
Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, roll in confectioners' sugar, and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are firm to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes, switching racks halfway through.

Step 7
Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
