Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 ozs unsweetened chocolate, melted

Directions:
Directions:
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In a mixer with a paddle attachment cream the butter well, then add the sugar and continue creaming until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla. On low setting, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Divide the dough in half and return half dough to the mixer. Add the warm melted chocolate and mix to combine. Remove half the dough from the bowl, and form it into a square. Wrap it in plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for later. When the dough is cold, cut each square into 4 pieces. Take one piece of vanilla dough and roll it out between parchment sheets into a rectangle, about 6x7 inches. Set it aside, and do the same with a piece of chocolate. Remove the parchment and lay the vanilla sheet on top of the chocolate, and cut the edges so everything is even. Gently roll up the dough sheets into a cylinder, wrap with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge. Repeat this step for all the dough to make four logs, then place the rolls in the freezer until you’re ready to bake (at least 4-6 hours). Preheat oven to 350º and grease two large baking sheets. Slice each roll into pieces 1/4 inch thick, and place on tray 1 inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies start to turn a light golden shade.
