Chocolate Emergency Cookies

(This isn't a typical post, as this is a HEALTHY BLOG...But we get that it is the Christmas Season, so you need some alternatives to the high cal offerings.)
from Spark People website:


These cookies taste like the corner of the brownie pan, but in controlled portions!

6 oz bittersweet chocolate (can use dark chocolate), broke into large pieces
1 stick unsalted butter, softened and divided
