Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and the chopped dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and gooey.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these super gooey chocolate drops warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
