📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup if you have one (makes it easier to pour). Set aside.
2
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (may use a large bowl and hand-held mixer) cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium-high speed until fluffy about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, egg yolks and vanilla, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

3
On low speed, slowly mix in the dry ingredients just until combined, followed by the chocolate chips (the dough will be very thick and sticky).
4
Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap clinging to the surface of the dough and freeze for ⏱️ 45 minutes-⏱️ 1 hour or chill in the refrigerator for at least ⏱️ 3 hours up to 3 days before rolling.
5
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. If the dough has been in the freezer, let it sit at room temperature if needed to soften a bit while the oven preheats.
6
Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in a bowl of granulated sugar, then in between the palms of your hands, then roll in a bowl of powdered sugar, then in between the palms of your hands so the sugar is compact and coats the entire surface of the dough. Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches in between, 8 balls per half sheet. Chill the dough in between each batch because it softens and becomes unmanageable very quickly.

Bake at 350 degrees F for ⏱️ 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set, the tops are slightly cracked and the centers are soft. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
