1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring an easy release.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, stirring until smooth and well blended.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Fold in the milk and chocolate chips, giving your cookie dough a rich and creamy texture.
6. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center but will firm up as they cool.
8. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
