Whisk all the dry ingredients except brown sugar.
Melt butter and whisk in brown sugar.
Add eggs and vanilla , beat well until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients in two additions and mix well with a spatula.
Add chocolate chips and make a dough.
Scoop out dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for an hour or upto 24 hours after covering it with a cling wrap.
You can also bake immediately if you do not want to refrigerate.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degree celsius.
Bake for about 7 to 8 minutes.
Cool on a cooling rack.

Don’t overbake: For soft, fudgy cookies, take them out of the oven at around 7–8 minutes. They will continue to set as they cool; this helps achieve chewy centers.
Whisk/sift the dry ingredients: This helps remove lumps, evenly distributes the cocoa powder, and gives the cookies a lighter, smoother texture.
Chill the dough: Refrigerating the dough helps deepen the flavor and gives you thicker, gooier cookies with better texture.
You don’t need a stand mixer for this recipe, but you can use one to beat the butter, brown sugar, and eggs if it makes the process easier.
Adjust the shape: If you prefer flatter cookies instead of domed ones, gently flatten the rolled balls after chilling so they spread slightly while baking.
Use the right cocoa powder: Always use natural unsweetened cocoa powder, not Dutch-processed, as this ensures the best flavor balance and proper reaction with the leavening agents like baking soda.
