Dark Chocolate Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies

Author: Ari

Ingredients

• 2 sticks softened salted butter, I love Kerrygold Butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 TB. vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. espresso powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (For dipping once cookies are done)
• 1-2 TB. sea salt

Instructions

1. In a stand mixer add your softened butter and sugars. Beat on med/low speed until butters and sugars are combined.
2. Next mix in eggs and vanilla until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together your flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso, and salt. Add to the mixer and slowly whisk into wet ingredients. Don't overmix.
4. Mix in chocolate chips.
5. Roll dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. I have even let this dough sit in the fridge for 24 hours if you want to make this ahead of time!
6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
7. Place cookie dough balls on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 9-10 minutes. I like to underbake mine just a little in the center because the cookies will continue to bake on the cookie sheet after you take them out of the oven.
9. Once the cookies are cool, melt your dark chocolate chips.
10. Dip one side of each cookie in the dark chocolate.
11. Sprinkle each cookie with a little bit of sea salt if desired.
12. Keep covered in tight container for up to 2-3 days.
