These Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with MELTED chocolate which makes them ridiculously fudgy! These are chocolate cookies for chocolate lovers, with crispy edges, and a chewy, fudgy center.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate on high in 30 second intervals, stirring well each time, just until melted. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, eggs, and melted chocolate and beat until combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and beat just until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are dry and crispy but the centers are just a little soft -- they will continue to set while cooling.
Cool on baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for 5-6 days on the counter, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
