Steps

1 hour

1

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy.
2

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat for another 3 minutes.
3

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, then add to the mixture.
4

Mix for 1 more minute until a soft dough forms.
5

Add the chopped chocolate and chocolate chips, and gently knead to combine.
6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into balls about 3/4 ounce (20 grams) each and place them on the sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between them.
7

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes.
8

For softer cookies, use less flour so the dough is looser, and drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop.
