Ingredients

• ▢ 1 cup butter , (2 sticks) softened
• ▢ 1 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
• ▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ 2 cups sprouted white whole wheat flour , or regular white whole wheat
• ▢ 1/2 cup Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• ▢ 1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
• ▢ 1 cup Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Baking Chips

Instructions

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Whip butter, sugar, coffee, vanilla and salt in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat until well combined.
• Sift together flour, cocoa, and baking soda; add half to the butter mixture and mix until flour disappears into the dough. Add the other half and mix again until blended. The dough will be pretty stiff. Fold-in baking chips or hand place them on top of each cookie once they're on the sheet to bake.
• Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. SEE NOTE

  Be careful not to over bake as you cannot see browning on dark cookies.

  Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Yields about 3 dozen depending on size of cookies.
• 2 1/2-inch cookies based on 1.5 Tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Use #50 portioner, scoop mouth diameter: 1.5 inches / 38mm / 3.8cm
• Baking time is an estimate for 2 1/2-inch cookies based on 8 minutes for more gooey centers and closer to 10 minutes for cake-like texture.
