# List of Ingredients:

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

03 - 1 teaspoon baking soda

04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar

07 - 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

08 - 2 large eggs

09 - 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

10 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

11 - 1 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

12 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, optional

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

03 - In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

04 - Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in espresso powder and vanilla extract until well combined.

05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

06 - Fold in 1 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

07 - Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

08 - Press a few mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie, if desired.

09 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still soft.

10 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

01 -

The espresso deepens the chocolate flavor without making these taste like coffee
These cookies stay perfectly chewy for days, assuming they last that long

02 -

Overbaking is the enemy, remove them even if they look slightly undone in the center
The dough benefits from chilling for 30 minutes if you have the patience

03 -

Use coffee instead of water in your egg wash for extra shine if brushing the tops
Weighing your flour instead of using cup measures gives consistent results every time
