Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt Chocolate & Butter: Combine semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes total.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on low for 1 minute, then medium for 4-5 minutes until pale and airy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the cooled melted chocolate mixture and vanilla into the egg mixture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Shape Cookies: Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions, rolling them into balls and placing them on the baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Edges should set and tops crack, with soft centers.
  9. Cool: Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
