Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
- 2 tablespoons milk + more as needed (no more than 1/4 cup total)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions
- Cream the unsalted butter and both sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and blend until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost combined.
- Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips, adding more milk as needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 2-3 tablespoon-sized balls, place them on the baking sheets, and press remaining chocolate chips onto the tops.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough enhances the flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of milk for desired dough consistency.
