Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee (optional)
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cooled melted coconut oil, dark brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and optional espresso powder until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Form Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Place them on a baking sheet and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand for cookie shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. For softer cookies, remove them around the 9-minute mark.
- Salt and Cool: Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- The cookies have a chewy texture with a perfect balance of sweet and salty, mimicking bakery-style brownie cookies.
- Adding espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- These cookies are delicious both warm and chilled.
- For consistent sizing, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.
