Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon coffee liqueur or brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar organic, minimally processed
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 30-45 seconds.
  • Add eggs, liqueur (or coffee), and vanilla and beat until evenly incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and one teaspoon sea salt.
  • Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and beat for about 10-15 seconds, then add chocolate chips and beat until even incorporated. Dough will be fairly dry and stiff.
  • Cover with plastic film and refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
  • In a small bowl combine remaining sugar and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Roll dough into 1" balls, then roll in sugar/salt mixture.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten slightly and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • After removing from oven, flatten cookie's "dome", and allow to cool on sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a flat surface to cool.
