These dark chocolate cookies are made with sea salt and espresso for a rich, dark flavor. Made it with instant espresso is easy and the sea salt flakes bring out the rich dark chocolate flavor. These homemade chocolate cookies are perfectly chewy.

It's heaven in a cookie. It's chewy, chocolaty, salty and coffee-y all in one. I figured this would be a good one to post for Valentine's day. This is perfect for my stay-at-home date since we have 4 kids and we are not gonna pay for a babysitter on Feb. 14th!! This is also perfect for you if you are celebrating "Single's Awareness Day". Just drown those sorrows in chocolate and espresso and Netflix. Nothing better!
I originally found this recipe at Food52 and made a few tweaks, and trust me, it's a keeper!
Melt the butter, chocolate and espresso powder in a pan on low heat.
While it's melting whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl.
Also prepare the dry ingredients. After the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Add it to the egg and sugar mixture, whisking until combined.
Fold in the dry ingredients. Cover and place it in the fridge for at least one hour. This is a very important step! If you don't do this you will end up with blobs of goo as opposed to actually cookies (I'm speaking from experience here!). After the batter is cooled you can scoop it with a melon baller ora small spoon.
Place the cookies a few inches apart on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 11. Put a pinch of coarse sea salt on each cookie immediately after pulling them out of the oven. Enjoy!!!!
