These triple chocolate mocha cookies are a decadent dessert! The cookies are soft and chewy with a crisp edge, a hint of coffee, and three different chocolates: cocoa powder, chopped semi-sweet, and dark chocolate chips. Easy to make. Ready in 30 minutes!
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a mixer, cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix just until combined.*Gently fold in chopped chocolate and chocolate chips.
Scoop 2-tablespoon sized portions and place them at least 2” apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350˚ for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and just barely set. Then, using hot hands, remove tray from oven and gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to sink the center of the cookies.Run a large round cookie cutter around the edge to shape each cookie back into a perfect circle.**
Return cookies to the oven for an additional 3 minutes or until golden brown and not longer wet looking.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking tray, then sprinkle with sea salt.
Remove from cookie sheet with a thin metal spatula.
Notes
*Overworking the dough will result in hard (not chewy) cookies! **This will help the cookies turn out perfectly round! For more coffee flavor, substitute half the vanilla extract with coffee extract.
