Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease four 6-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter and dust them with a thin layer of cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar with the eggs and egg yolks until the mixture is light and frothy, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently whisk to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl and fold gently using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cakes should jiggle slightly when gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and let the ramekins cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen the cakes.
Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and gently tap to release the cakes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
Serve immediately while warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
