Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine vanilla extract and espresso powder in a small bowl; mix until espresso powder is dissolved.

Step 3

Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; mix in chocolate chips.

Step 4

Whisk vanilla mixture, sugar, eggs, and oil together in a large bowl. Add flour mixture; stir, by hand if needed, until dough comes together and is thick and stiff.

Step 5

Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and place onto the baking sheets. Shape each piece into a log as long as the baking sheet; press down with wet hands to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Move cooled logs to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch long slices with a serrated knife. Return the slices to the baking sheets, placing them on their sides.

Step 8

Bake until dry, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from oven and let cool until hardened on wire racks.
