Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and pale yellow in color.

Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing thoroughly until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
8
To achieve that iconic mall cookie appearance, gently flatten each cookie dough ball using your fingers or the bottom of a drinking glass.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 minutes. The cookies might look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
