Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line four large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2
Melt the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
5
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the instant espresso powder and vanilla extract until fully combined.
6
Pour the melted chocolate into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until the chocolate is evenly blended.
7
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
8
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
9
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through to ensure even baking. The edges should look set while the centers remain soft.
11
Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 2 minutes before carefully sliding the parchment paper onto wire racks to cool completely.
