Cooking duration: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 tablespoon brewed coffee, optional but recommended (leftover from the morning brew okay)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 ounces (1/4 cup) brick-style cream cheese (lite brick-style is okay but don't use 'whipped' or 'spreadable')
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, optional but recommended
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
12 ounces (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Equipment:
hand mixer
mixing bowl
stand mixer
baking sheet
oven
Cooking instruction summary:
To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer)add the butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, optional coffee (doesn't make cookies taste like coffee, serves to enhance the chocolate flavor), vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the cocoa powder, optional espresso powder (doesn't make cookies taste like coffee, serves to enhance the chocolate flavor), and beat on medium-high speed until combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add theflour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. Add chocolate chips and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Using alarge cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 16 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Tip - Strategically place a few chocolate chips right on top of each mound of dough by taking chips from the underside and adding them on top. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with aSilpator spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet)and bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked or glossy in the center; don't overbake which is easy to do with chocolate cookies. Cookies firm up as they cool so pull them before you think you need to. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack. Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.
