Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Melt unsalted butter and cacao baking chocolate together over direct heat while stirring, or use a metal bowl over boiling water to melt.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 whole eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until slightly lighter in color and aerated.

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Gently whisk in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until combined.

Sift in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and fine salt, then gently whisk until smooth and evenly combined.

Fold in white chocolate chips.

Let the batter sit for 2 minutes to thicken before scooping.

Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet completely before transferring to a wire rack.
