Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
