Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional: Sea salt flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the Kahlua coffee liqueur and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, lightly sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look soft. Avoid over-baking for a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey flavor with a hint of Kahlua!
