Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the granulated and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking or stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until no streaks of flour remain and a thick, brownie-like dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, looking for set edges and a light crackle on top while the centers still look soft.
  3. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
