- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter together with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets with enough space for spreading.
Baking

- Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother mix. Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
