Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and instant espresso powder. Mix until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.

- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Adjust the espresso amount to your taste for more or less coffee flavor.
