Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ⅔ cups natural cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon instant coffee grounds optional
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate bar chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Place butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Immediately add cocoa powder and instant coffee (if using) and whisk until well-combined.
- Add sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined and batter is smooth.
- In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet until completely combined.
- Add chopped chocolate and stir until well distributed.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once dough has chilled, scoop into 3 Tablespoon-sized scoops (60g) (for more uniform cookies, roll between your palms into smooth balls) and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart.
- Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
