Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth; set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
Mix in the melted chocolate, then gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined; fold in chocolate chips if using.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but centers are soft; let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
