Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate morsels and butter in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Stir in milk and vanilla extract.
Slowly add cooled chocolate mixture into egg mixture and stir until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Let dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps firm it up for baking.
Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Press a few chocolate morsels on top of each cookie to enhance gooey finish.
Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers no longer look wet.
Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Let cookies cool fully before storing in airtight container. Store up to 3 days at room temp or 1 week in fridge. Wrap individually and freeze for longer storage.
