Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and fragrant.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
• Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
• Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
• Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set; centers may look slightly underbaked.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
