Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (browned)
  • 1/4 cup espresso powder (divided)
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring until it foams and turns amber before removing from heat.
  2. Pour the browned butter into a measuring cup, mix in 1/8 cup espresso powder, and let sit for about 10–15 minutes. Strain using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining espresso powder, and salt in one bowl.
  5. In another bowl, combine the strained brown butter with both sugars until smooth. Add vanilla extract, eggs, and yolks; mix well.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture until just combined; gently fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop heaping amounts of dough onto prepared sheets (aim for six large balls per sheet).
  8. Bake for 13–16 minutes until edges are golden-brown while centers remain slightly underdone. Allow to cool on pans briefly before transferring to racks.
