Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined. Finally, stir in the melted chocolate chips.
