Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and unsalted butter in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined.
Add the milk to the batter to achieve a slightly softer consistency. The batter should hold its shape but not be overly stiff.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tidbits cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
