INGREDIENTS
•
6 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate, chopped coarsely (such as Baker’s brand semi-sweet chocolate, or I use a 72% Pound Plus Bar from Trader Joe’s)

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
3 large eggs
•
1 cup all-purpose flour

pinch salt, optional and to taste

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

pinch salt, optional and to taste
