1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 tsp Salt

1.Melt the chocolate chips and butter together; whisk until smooth and let cool.
2.In a large bowl, beat eggs and both sugars on high for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
3.Stir the cooled chocolate mixture and vanilla into the egg mixture.
4.Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
5.Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow it to thicken.
6.Scoop tablespoons of batter onto a lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
7.Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
8.Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up.
Notes
Whipping the eggs and sugar for the full 5 minutes is essential for the shiny top.
Do not overbake; the cookies should look slightly underdone when pulled out.
Use room temperature eggs to prevent the melted chocolate from seizing.
