Before I get to the requests that are rolling in for my 30 days of chocolate campaign for Valentine’s Day, I thought I would fulfill my own request first. I can’t stop thinking about chocolate cookies. And not just any chocolate cookie—a soft, chewy cookie chock full of melting chocolate chunks. Have you noticed that chocolate chips don’t melt very much in the oven? That’s why I used chocolate chunks for these cookies. The gooey factor was of high importance for my perfect chocolate cookies.
I also tipped in some espresso powder because I always love the way it makes the chocolate taste richer and fuller. If you get a chance in life to be richer and fuller, you should always take that chance. That said, it’s entirely optional. Don’t forgo the cookies if that’s the only ingredient you’re lacking. But also, um, don’t substitute coffee grounds. Definitely not the same.
I made Chocolate Ginger cookies a few years back that I still crave on a regular basis, but today is all about chocolate. Nothing but the chocolate. In all of its glory.
I hope these perfect little two-bite chocolate cookies make all of your chocolate dreams come true.
Please, keep your requests rolling in for chocolate desserts for Valentine's Day! I'm loving all the emails and comments with your ideas. Thanks so much! I can't wait to get to work!

Hi there! I'm wondering if i can replace the 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder with another ingredient? Or can I just leave it out of the recipe? Thank you!
Christina Lane says
Just leave it out :)

These look so delicious! Can you share how much chocolate chunks you used and which brand you recommend?

Ahh! My head is not with me right now! I can't believe I left that information out. I updated it to 1/4 cup, and I use Trader Joe's brand. Thanks for the catch! :)

I'm not sure why New Year's resolutions involving cutting out sugar exist when valentine's day comes so soon after--along with these luscious looking cookies. Drooling! I need this small amount because otherwise I might eat the entire batch myself!
