Chocolate Chunk Mocha Cookies

Yield: 96 cookies

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups butter, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
• 20 oz. white chocolate chips
• I actually ran out, and did a 50/50 split with white and dark chocolate.  You do you.

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.
2. In another bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.  Mix on medium speed until fluffy.  Add in the eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder, and mix well.
3. While continuing to mix the butter, gradually add in the flour mixture until fully combined.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Form into 1.5 tbsp rounded balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Press down the center gently (but not all the way down).
6. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes.  (10 minutes was perfect for my oven)
7. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
