Microwave chocolate and butter in a microwaveable bowl on High 2 min. or until butter is melted.
Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended.
Beat whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar and flour with wire whisk until well blended.
Gradually add to chocolate mixture beating constantly until well blended.
Butter 6 ramekins and dust with cocoa powder. (Flour could be used to dust the ramekins but will leave white spots on the cake, not a nice presentation )
Place 1 cookie on the bottom of each ramekins.
Cover evenly with batter.
Bake 8 minutes or until cakes are firm around edges but still soft in centers.
Let it stand for 1 min.
Carefully loosen the cake by using a small thin knife.
