Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chunks and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until thick and pale.
Stir in vanilla and the cooled chocolate mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Scoop dough, flatten slightly, and place a square of dark chocolate in the center. Wrap dough around the chocolate to seal.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
