These have a deep and complex chocolate flavor, with basic ingredients. The result is a chewy and fudgy center with slightly crisp edges. Moist, rich, and dreamy. Totally chewy (not cakey or dry) and stay that way for many days. Freeze leftover dough for baking when you need some chocolatey treats!
2cupssemi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, or a mixture of both
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk the four, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate at 50% power for 2 minutes and stir well. If needed, repeat 1 more minute. (Alternatively melt chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until melted.)
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Sprinkle coffee powder to dissolve. Set Aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and both sugars at medium until combined, 1 minute. Mixture may be gritty. Decrease to low speed, add egg mixture, and mix to incorporate, 1 min.
Add melted chocolate in a steady stream, mixing until combined, 1 minute, scraping down bowl and beater as needed.
With mixer still on low, add dry ingredients gradually and gently mix just until combined, without over beating.
With rubber spatula, fold in chocolate chips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in fridge at least 1 hour or until scoop-able.
Adjust oven to lower middle position, at 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
divide dough into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Set balls on lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten dough balls.
Bake just until edges are begun to set but centers are still very soft, 8-9 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to wire rack and cool to room temp.
