Ingredients

2 eggs (100 grams / 3.5 ounces)
200 grams (7 ounces) of 70% dark chocolate
60 grams (2 ounces) unsalted butter
100 grams (3.5 ounces) flour
120 grams (4 ounces) sugar
4 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon instant coffee
We recommend:

Instructions

Step 1

Mix chocolate, butter, coffee, and salt.
Microwave in short bursts, 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring in between until chocolate is melted. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until the mixture lightens and increases in volume. This can be done manually or with a mixer.

Step 3

Combine the chocolate mixture and the egg mixture.
Sift flour and baking soda into the combined mixture and mix together.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes.
Using a tablespoon, place portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 8 minutes.
After baking, the cookies will be soft on top. Let them cool completely before removing from the parchment paper.
Enjoy! 💔

Variations

Want to make these amazing cookies gluten-free or vegan? No problem! Here are some simple substitutions:

🌾 **Gluten-Free Option**: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend at a 1:1 ratio. Ensure that the baking soda you use is also gluten-free.

🌱 **Vegan Option**: Replace the eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and use a plant-based butter. Check that the dark chocolate you’re using is dairy-free.

Faq

  • Why is my cookie dough too runny?

    This can happen if the ingredients weren’t properly measured. Try adding a bit more flour to firm it up.

  • Can I skip the instant coffee?

    Yes, you can, but the coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, making it richer.

  • Why are my cookies spreading too much?

    Make sure the dough is chilled before baking, and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.

  • Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Absolutely! Scoop the dough into portions and freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a bag. Bake directly from the freezer, adding a couple of minutes to the bake time.

  • How can I make the cookies chewier?

    Underbake them slightly – they should be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven, then firm up as they cool.

  • Why are my cookies hard?

    They might have been baked too long. Keep an eye on the baking time and ensure they cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain softness.
