Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt together the unsalted butter and dark chocolate over low heat until smooth.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale and thick.
  5. Carefully mix the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined; dough should be soft.
  7. Portion the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 11-12 minutes until the tops crack and look glossy; avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Optionally sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before serving.
