Instructions
1. Prep the base2. Add the wet ingredientsMix in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Beat until smooth and glossy.
3. Combine the dry ingredientsIn a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Mix it all togetherGradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chunks and mini chips.
5. Chill the dough and preheat the ovenCover dough and chill for 30–60 minutes. This deepens the chocolate flavor and prevents spreading. Preheat the oven to 350°F while chilling.
