Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and large eggs vigorously for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture is pale yellow, thick, and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving the crackly top.

Pour the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract into the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk until well combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until there are no lumps.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Using an ice cream scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per scoop), drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crackly. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
