Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour because cookies need structure
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder deep, dark, and dangerous
  • ½ tsp baking soda science magic
  • ¼ tsp salt essential, don’t argue
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened (because flavor matters)
  • ½ cup brown sugar chewiness unlocked
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar a crisp edge is a must
  • 1 large egg cookie glue
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract flavor booster
  • ½ cup dark chocolate melted (for dipping)
  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee because caffeine makes everything better
  • ½ cup chocolate chips because there’s no such thing as too much chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Because burnt cookies are a crime.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. No clumps allowed.
  • Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. No shortcuts.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. You’re almost there.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Overmixing equals sad cookies.
  • Fold in chocolate chips because resistance is futile.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. No cookie collisions.
  • Bake for 12 minutes until edges are set but centers stay slightly soft. Trust the process.
  • Cool cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Or eat them now—your call.
  • Dip half of each cooled cookie in melted chocolate, then drizzle strong coffee over the top. Next-level indulgence.
  • Let them set before devouring, or just eat them messy. No judgment.

Pro Tips for Maximum Flavor

  • Use espresso powder instead of brewed coffee for an even stronger caffeine hit.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top for that salty-sweet magic.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for extra thick cookies.
  • Double-dip in chocolate if you're feeling reckless (highly recommended).
Now, go bake. Your taste buds will thank you. Your self-control? Not so much.
