Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, consider chilling the dough before baking for thicker cookies with a chewy interior.
