In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Mix in the granulated sugar, the cooled melted chocolate, and cocoa powder. Beat the eggs in as well as the vanilla extract.
Combine the dry ingredients
04
In a separate bowl, combine the spooned & leveled all-purpose flour together with the baking powder and salt.
Make the Cookie Dough
