Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon instant coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) softened butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and instant coffee, and mix well.
  • Add in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix until ingredients are well combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
  • Place the cookie dough on a large piece of parchment paper. Chill dough for 3 to 12 hours in the fridge.
  • After chilling the dough, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough into 24-tablespoon sized balls.
  • Pour powdered sugar into a small bowl. Roll each cookie ball in the sugar to completely coat it. Place it on a nonstick or parchment-lined baking sheet placed 2 inches apart.
  • Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. **They will look undercooked when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.**

Notes

  • Keep at room temperature for up to 5 days in an airtight container to keep them chewy on the inside.
  • You can freeze the dough balls in an airtight container or Ziploc freezer bag for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to bake, simply allow them to defrost and continue the cooking directions as listed.
