In a heatproof bowl, melt the 113g of unsalted butter and 100g of dark chocolate chips together. This can be done over a double boiler or carefully in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Once melted, add the 30g of cocoa powder to the butter and chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the cocoa powder to 'bloom' for a few minutes. This will enhance the chocolate flavor and deepen the color.

In a separate large bowl, combine the 150g of granulated sugar, 100g of light brown sugar, 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together incredibly well until the mixture is light, airy, and pale. This thorough whisking is crucial for achieving the characteristic crackly top on the cookies.
