Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease a standard 24-cup mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft. Do not overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookie cups from the oven and use the back of a small spoon or the handle of a wooden spoon to gently press down the centers of each cookie cup to create a small well.
Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the cookie cups while they are still slightly warm, gently pressing them into place.
Serve the Ultimate Chocolate Cappuccino Cookie Cups warm with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
