Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Making the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and slightly thick.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shaping the Cookies
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Optionally, press a few extra chocolate chips on top.
Baking
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
- Let cookies rest on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
Do not overbake — the centers should stay fudgy. Chill dough for 15 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
