Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, cream together butter, sugars, and extracts. Add eggs and mix again until combined.
Add dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients in two or three increments, stirring after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in chocolate chips. Chill batter in the fridge for at least one hour.
Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease baking sheets with cooking spray.
Using a 1 1/2-tbsp capacity cooking scoop, scoop cookies onto baking sheets, leaving about 1-1/2" to 2" of space between them to leave room for them to spread.
Bake for 11 minutes or so, or until the tops have mostly set. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
