Rainy Day Baking

Is there anything than baking on a rainy day? No. Well, maybe. Okay, I suppose if I really think about it there are a lot of things that are better than baking on a rainy day, so I will revise and say that one of my favorite things to do is bake on a rainy today.
Today we made these. They are Chocolate Snowquakes, from Country Living. The recipe was first (or so I think) in their Christmas magazine 6 years ago but now it appears in the Country Living Merry & Bright book.
They are so very good. In fact, they are Annika's favorites and she always asks to make them. They are so good. Did I say that already?

Recipe:
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. dutch process cocoa
1 1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk chocolate chips, optional
Cream together the sugars and butter until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients until combined. Add the chips, if desired. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls (I use a small cookie scoop and skip the hand-rolling) and roll the balls in powdered sugar. Bake at 350 for 9 minutes. Eat and repeat.
