Provided by Carol P.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Drop Cookie Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup Dutch process cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, cream butter with white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in coffee crystals and vanilla until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients just until everything comes together. Cover, and let stand for 35 minutes so the chocolate can set up.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, or drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be set, but the centers will still be very soft because of the chocolate. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
