Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ⅓ cup espresso powder, I used Delallo
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup salted sweet cream butter, 12 tablespoons, softened
  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 extra large whole egg, room temperature
  • 1 extra large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks (I used Nestle Toll House)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (I used Hershey’s)

Instructions

  • Add the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Using a stand mixer or a medium-sized mixing bowl and handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened butter and sugars together for 1½ to 2 minutes until completely incorporated.
  • Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Continue mixing until no yellow streaks remain.
  • Add ½ of the flour and espresso mixture, and mix just until combined. Repeat for the remaining flour mixture.
  • Add the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and the dark chocolate chips. Mix just until incorporated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Space the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter, eggs, and vanilla extract are at room temperature, as this will ensure better incorporation into the dough.
  • Chilling the dough helps solidify the fats and enhances the flavor and texture of the cookies.
  • Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
