Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a heat proof bowl add the chocolate and butter, and place over a small saucepan with simmering water. Stir the butter and chocolate every minute or so until it is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and hot water. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs on high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and pale in color.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate-butter mixture and bloomed cocoa powder mixture until fully combined.

Then, add in the flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined.

Allow the cookie dough to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to thicken up.

Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.

Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes until they are crackly, shiny, and appear set. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet.

Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Espresso Powder 🌫️
Mix espresso powder with hot water before adding to the dough to fully activate its flavor and eliminate grittiness, creating deeper mocha notes throughout the cookies.
Use Dutch-Processed Cocoa Strategically 🍫
Dutch-processed cocoa has lower acidity, so reduce baking powder slightly and sift it thoroughly with cocoa to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution of leavening for fudgy texture.
Master the Salt Layering Technique 🧂
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on cookies immediately after baking while still warm, allowing it to adhere and create a perfect sweet-salty contrast that enhances the chocolate complexity.
Don't Overmix After Chocolate Addition 🥄
Fold in chopped semi-sweet chocolate gently by hand as the final step to maintain distinct chocolate chunks rather than melting them into the batter, preserving fudgy pockets.
Underbake for Maximum Fudginess ⏱️
Pull cookies from the oven when the edges are set but centers still jiggle slightly—they'll continue cooking on the hot pan and develop that signature brownie-like fudgy center as they cool.
