Instructions
- INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips, EVOo, and espresso powder over low heat. Stir occasionally until chips are melted and smooth.
- In a stand mixer or medium bowl, using a hand-mixer, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla.
- In a small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold in. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Allow the batter to sit for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Scoop cookies by the heaping (or 2) tablespoon. Roll and then gently press down.
- Bake for 10 minutes or. Until the cookies look a bit crackly all over and the center is set. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Serve warm or room temperature.
