These triple chocolate cookies are fit for any chocoholic. In addition to the deep chocolate flavor, the slight heat makes the perfect complement for these soft and chewy cookies.
Melt together the chopped chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Heat just until the chocolate is mostly melted, stirring periodically.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 4 ounces dark chocolate
Once the chocolate is mostly melted, remove from the heat and stir until fully melted looks smooth and glossy. Set aside and let cool while you start the next steps.
In your mixing bowl, add the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and coffee extract. Stir until it starts to come together, then beat for one to two minutes until it's lighter and fluffier. Add the chocolate mixture and mix until it's completely incorporated.
1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon coffee extract or strong espresso
Add the cinnamon, chili powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix again until incorporated. Add the flour and mix just until the flour has disappeared. Add the chocolate chips and stir by hand, if needed, to ensure that they're evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough will be thick, and you don't want to have patches with all chips and patches with none.
Using a small scoop or spoon, scoop onto a cookie sheet with a silpat. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops have started to crack.
Let cool on the cookie sheet for three to four minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely. Whatever you don't eat, you can store in a tightly sealed container for three to four days.
