-
1 cookie
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 3⁄4 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
directions
- In medium saucepan, combine bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and butter; heat and stir over low heat until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool for about 10 minutes.
- In large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, and coffee; beat with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 2 or 3 minutes or until well mixed and color becomes slightly lighter. Add cooled melted chocolate, beating until combined. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to chocolate mixture; beat until combined. Stir in chocolate pieces. At this point, the dough will look like brownie batter.
- Cover dough with wax paper and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes so that dough can thicken.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, silicone, or foil. Scoop 3 ounces of dough per cookie (use 3 tablespoons of dough if you do not have a 3 oz scoop) in mounds 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven about 13 minutes, or until tops are set and the cracks on top do not appear moist. Do not attempt to cook these in a cold oven - they do not turn out well. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for one minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi, I'm a Wife and Mom of three girls ranging in age from 9 to 16. Two of my daughters have special needs, so life is never dull! We live in Michigan in a very rural area near the lake (lots of farmland and fishermen). My husband and I own a copywriting business and I am a food writer and blogger.
I have a degree in culinary arts and love to entertain and cook. I'm constantly creating and searching for new and improved recipes to try out on our friends or on my blog.
We spend a lot of time traveling and camping in the summer. Being self employed writers allows us to spend all sorts of time together and we really enjoy having the girls home all summer. We try to spend as much time as possible in the beautiful Michigan woods.
