Ingredients
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons espresso powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter.
Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Do not overheat. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes until pale, fluffy, and thick.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth and fully combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder. Mix until just combined. The dough will be soft.
Immediately scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a standard cookie scoop, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops are crackly and the edges are set while the centers remain soft and fudgy.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
Scoop and bake the dough immediately for shiny, crackly brownie tops.
Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee.
Do not overbake to maintain a gooey brownie-like center.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
