Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder in the hot water and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and dissolved espresso mixture until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
