Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on medium speed for another 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the dough into 18 balls and place on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye on the edges; for chewier centers, aim for the shorter time.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately after removing from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
