Instructions

In a medium bowl combine the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugars, espresso powder, and salt for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.

Scrape down the bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a small parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place the frozen cookie dough balls on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Top each of them with more chopped chocolate if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes until barely golden on the edges.

Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately use a round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges in and make them perfectly round.

Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, then top with flaky sea salt and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Espresso Powder ☕
Dissolve the espresso powder in a small amount of hot water before adding to your dough to intensify the coffee flavor and ensure it distributes evenly throughout the cookies.
Brown Your Butter for Depth 🧈
Toast your unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden and nutty (3-5 minutes), then cool before creaming with sugars to add rich, caramelized notes that complement the espresso.
Chill Dough for Crispy-Edged Cookies 🧊
Refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours before baking to prevent spreading and create those coveted crispy, lacy edges while keeping the center soft and chewy.
Chop Dark Chocolate Unevenly 🍫
Cut your dark chocolate into varied chunk sizes (some large pieces, some smaller) to create pockets of different melt intensities and prevent the chocolate from distributing too uniformly.
Underbake Slightly for Chewy Centers ⏱️
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone (they'll continue cooking as they cool), then let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring.
