Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until just melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant espresso powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the bold coffee-chocolate flavors!
