Instructions
1
In a medium bowl combine the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
2
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.
3
Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined.
4
Scrape down the bowl, then add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
5
Fold in the chocolate with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
6
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a small parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
8
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.
9
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.
10
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 the dough to unlock its full flavor potential and prevent bitter, concentrated spots in the cookies.
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Melt the unsalted butter until golden and nutty, then cool completely before creaming with sugars—this adds tremendous depth and complexity to the espresso-chocolate flavor profile.
- Chill Your Dough Strategically ❄️Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld and prevent excessive spreading, resulting in thicker cookies with chewy centers and crispy edges.
- Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫Lightly toast dark chocolate chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before folding into dough to intensify their richness and prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Use Kosher Salt on Top ✨Sprinkle fleur de sel or finishing kosher salt on cookies immediately after removing from the oven to enhance the espresso and chocolate notes with a contrasting sweet-salty finish.
