Melt unsweetened chocolate and let cool slightly.

Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and melted chocolate.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk.
