Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups (281 g) All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (43-45 g) Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup (227 g) Unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) Packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Flavor and Mix-Ins
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules or espresso powder
  • 1 cup (about 170 g) Semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (about 170 g) English toffee bits or chopped chocolate-covered toffee

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes, until light and creamy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and instant coffee or espresso powder.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture just until incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits. Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes if thicker cookies are desired.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons or heaping 1 1/2-tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges look set while the centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

Do not overbake; the cookies finish setting on the hot baking sheet. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container. If the dough seems unusually stiff, 1 tablespoon of milk or brewed coffee may be added.
