Instructions
- Place butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.
- Immediately add cocoa powder and instant coffee (if using) and whisk until well-combined.
- Add sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined and batter is smooth.
- In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet until completely combined.
- Add chopped chocolate and stir until well distributed.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once dough has chilled, scoop into 3 Tablespoon-sized scoops (60g) (for more uniform cookies, roll between your palms into smooth balls) and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart.
- Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

Notes
- I prefer this recipe with natural cocoa powder but Dutch cocoa and dark cocoa powder work as well.
- This recipe makes large cookies, you can certainly scoop them smaller, just bake for less time.
- Allow cookies to cool completely then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- The original recipe was published in 2019 and I improved upon this recipe, making the cookie more fudgy and chocolatey. If you're looking for the original, you can find it here, but note that I am no longer accepting comments on the original.
