In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the 1 1/4 cups of dark chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each, until smooth. If using a double boiler, stir until fully melted.

Add the 1/4 cup of butter to the melted chocolate chips and mix until it's smooth and evenly combined. Set this chocolate mixture aside to cool slightly.
⏱️ 2 min - 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the 2 eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg and sugar mixture until it becomes lighter in color and slightly fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Pour the mixed wet ingredients (egg and sugar mixture) into the chocolate ganache (melted chocolate and butter). Mix until well combined and smooth.

Sift the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the chocolate mixture. This helps prevent lumps and aerates the dry ingredients.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until the flour is blended into the batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
⏱️ 1 min

Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop half of a scoop of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread.
⏱️ 3 min - 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft and gooey. Do not overbake.

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven. While still warm, you can use a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookies to gently shape them into perfectly round discs by swirling the cutter around each cookie. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
