Ingredients

• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ⅛ teaspoon Salt
• 2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
• 1 Large Egg Yolk (room temperature)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 6 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (plus some for topping cookies)
• ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder (optional)
• Sea Salt Flakes (for topping cookies, optional garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients In a mixer, combine the eggs, egg yolk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes frothy and well combined.
4. Melt the Chocolate and Butter In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and espresso powder (if using).
5. Combine the Mixtures Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Fold in the dry ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Scoop the Batter Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1½ inches apart.
7. Add Toppings and Bake Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt flakes. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies have a shiny, crackly top. If desired, top with additional chocolate chips and use a cookie cutter for uniform, round shapes.
8. Cool and Enjoy Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
