Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These chewy cookies double down on chocolate, thanks to the combo of cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and one of our favorite secret weapon ingredients, instant coffee.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
    2 c.
  • cocoa powder
    ¾ c.
  • baking soda
    1 tsp.
  • kosher salt
  • unsalted butter

    room temperature

    1 ¼ c.
  • granulated white sugar
    2 c.
  • instant coffee granules
    1 tbsp.
  • eggs
    2
  • pure vanilla extract
    1 tbsp.
  • walnuts

    roughly chopped

    1 c.
  • chocolate chips

    semi- or bittersweet

    ½ c.

Directions

  1. 1

    Adjust an oven rack to center position, and preheat oven&nbsp;to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.<br>

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter, sugar, and&nbsp;instant&nbsp;coffee&nbsp;granules&nbsp;on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients&nbsp;to the butter/sugar mixture all at once,&nbsp;and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, being careful not to over&nbsp;mix the dough.

  5. 5

    Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons dough, and place onto baking sheets 3" apart.&nbsp;

  6. 6

    Bake for 12 minutes. The cookies will still&nbsp;be very soft, but will firm up as they cool. Let them sit for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack to continue cooling. Repeat in batches as needed.

About this Recipe

Ready for the ultimate chocolate cookie experience? These Chewy Chocolate Cookies deliver deep, rich flavor and that perfect satisfying chew, making them an instant favorite for any chocolate lover.

What makes these cookies stand out is the masterful combination of rich cocoa powder and decadent chocolate chips, amplified by our secret weapon: instant coffee granules. This unexpected addition deepens the chocolate notes without tasting like coffee, creating a truly complex and satisfying treat that's far from one-dimensional.

Prepare for a cookie that truly lives up to its name. You'll find a delightful chewiness in every bite, bursting with intense chocolate flavor. The pure vanilla extract adds a lovely aromatic warmth, perfectly complementing the rich cocoa and the semi- or bittersweet chocolate chips. A scattering of roughly chopped walnuts provides a pleasant textural contrast and a hint of earthy flavor, rounding out this indulgent yet balanced dessert. This naturally vegetarian treat is perfect for satisfying serious chocolate cravings.

While the recipe calls for walnuts, you can easily omit them entirely for a pure chocolate experience if nuts aren't your preference. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips too, like milk chocolate for a sweeter cookie or extra dark chocolate for an even more intense cocoa punch.

These Chewy Chocolate Cookies are ideal for any celebration, like a birthday, or simply as a comforting snack with a glass of milk. They make a wonderful homemade gift or a delightful addition to any dessert spread.
