- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ cup flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Instant Espresso powder optional
- 6 oz White chocolate chopped in ¼” chunks
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- **Stand mixer works best this dough is thick!
Dough
In a small bowl: dissolve espresso powder in vanilla extract. Add eggs and mix/beat together.
In a separate bowl: mix together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a mixer bowl fitted with paddle, beat sugars and butter until grainy (about 45 seconds), then slowly add in vanilla and egg mixture.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients mixture (small bit at a time) and blend well.
Gently add in chocolate so it’s evenly distributed (fold in or 1-2 spins on mixer on lowest setting)
Cover and chill dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes for flavor and ease of use.
Baking
Roll dough into 1″ ball, about 3 tsp/1 tablespoon/or use slightly more dough than small cookie portioner.
Bake on parchment paper for 7-10 minutes at 375°, rotate once halfway through.
DO NOT OVER BAKE – they will look quite soft and puffy. Cool on pan slightly - 2 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
Keep in a tight container once cooled. These cookies and dough freeze well!
Reheat: Cook slightly (10 seconds) in microwave to get the chocolate gooey.
