Ingredients

2-2/3 cups 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed

4 large eggs, room temperature

1-1/2 cups sugar

4 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, optional

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 package (11-1/2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

1 Melt the chocolate and butter

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large saucepan, melt the bittersweet chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the chocolate mixture to cool down to a warm temperature.

3 Make the cookie dough

4 In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and espresso powder (if using) until blended. Mix that into the melted chocolate mixture. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt, then add that to the chocolate batter and mix well. Fold the semisweet chocolate chunks into the dough. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly, before scooping.

5 Bake the cookies

6 Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, drop scoops of the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies until they're set, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on the pans for one to two minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
