2 large eggs (room temperature)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and beat well; then mix in vanilla extract.
