Method

Step 1: Prepare Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Incorporate eggs and hot cocoa mix until smooth.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet dough, stirring gently. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Chill Dough

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Bake Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
