Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature

1 cup brown sugar packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp expresso powder

• 2 cup all purpose flour

• 3/4 cup +2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), beat the butter

and sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

2. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and espresso

powder, mix until combined.

3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt.

With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate dough for

one hour.

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone

baking mats, set aside.

6. Using a standard size cookie scoop (#40 or 1.5 tablespoons), scoop dough and roll in the

granulated sugar, if desired. Place on prepared sheet, then bake for 8-10 minutes. The

cookies should be soft in the center but set on the edges.

7. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before

transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
