Directions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
- Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
4. Combine Wet and Chocolate Mixtures
- Slowly stir the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth and well blended.
5. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
6. Add Chocolate Chips
- Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
7. Shape and Bake

Tips for Success
- Don’t Overbake: The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Room Temperature Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
