Rich, chewy dark chocolate cookies with a bold espresso kick, perfect for coffee lovers craving an indulgent yet energizing treat.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso or instant espresso powder
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and espresso until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
