Espresso powder deepens the cocoa taste of these devilishly decadent cookies, but you can omit it, if you like.

Time 35m

Yield Makes 22

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 4 ounces melted and 4 ounces coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in vanilla. Combine espresso powder and melted chocolate; beat into butter mixture. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; mix just until combined. Fold in chopped chocolate.
  • Drop dough by two heaping tablespoons, 3 inches apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until edges are dry, 14 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out at all. They were flat and hard.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might add an extra egg yolk next time to make them more moist.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Followed the recipe to the letter and the cookies turned out perfectly. Chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside. The espresso flavor is subtle but definitely there.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, and the espresso adds a lovely depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
