Ingredients

  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup instant espresso powder (I like Medaglia D'Oro)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups Coffee Crunch Dark Chocolate Bar (Chocolove XOXOX) OR another coffee chocolate bar, roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter with the sugars and vanilla. Once everything is evenly blended, add the egg and mix until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix only until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate-coffee bar chunks and the chocolate chips.
  • Use a cookie scoop or teaspoon to shape the cookies into approximately 2 tablespoon dollops, about 2 inches apart on the parchment-covered baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until the cookies solidify, about 10 minutes. They should still look doughy when you remove them from the oven -- they will firm up a bit as they cool. Leave them on the baking sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you can't get the coffee crunch bar, you can also use dark chocolate-covered coffee or espresso beans. You can always find chocolate covered espresso beans at Trader Joe's.
