Ingredients
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for melting)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup additional chocolate chips (for mixing in)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until incorporated without overmixing.
- Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Swap semi-sweet chips with dark or white chocolate chips for variety.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty twist.
Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
Add 1 tsp of instant espresso powder for a mocha flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
