  • 2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) cold unsalted butter, sliced

  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) mix of semi sweet, dark or milk chocolate chips, divided

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, espresso powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside for now.
    2 cups (240 g) all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon espresso powder, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda , ½ teaspoon salt
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 - 3 minutes or until the butter and sugars are well combined.
    1 cup (226 g) cold unsalted butter, sliced, 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • On low, cream in the cocoa powder, egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract one at a time until smooth and well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips until well combined. Reserve ½ cup chocolate chips for topping the cookies right before baking.
    ½ cup (40 g) Dutch processed cocoa powder, 1 large egg, room temperature, 1 large egg yolk, room temperature, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , 2 cups (340 g) mix of semi sweet, dark or milk chocolate chips, divided
  • Cover the cookie dough and transfer to the fridge to chill for 2 hours. 
    Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C) for about 30 minutes before baking the cookies. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons, 30 ml), scoop the chocolate chip chocolate cookie dough into balls and place them onto the lined baking sheet about 3 inches (8 cm) apart. Top the cookies with the remaining chocolate chips. 
    Bake at 350 F (177 C) for 10 - 12  minutes until the edges are set and tops of the cookies are slightly puffed.
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, reshape any cookies using a biscuit or cookie cutter slightly wider than the cookie. In a circular motion, gently nudge the edges back into a round shape. 
    Cool the soft and fudgy cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature and enjoy.

Notes

Store: Place the double chocolate cookies in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week. Cookies taste the best when enjoyed in 2 - 3 days.
