Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 ounces unsalted butter; 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour; 1/2 teaspoon powdered espresso; 1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 pinch (~1/8 teaspoon) Chinese 5 spice powder, optional; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 large eggs; 1/2 teaspoon orange extract; zest of one large orange; 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Servings: persons

4 ounces unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon powdered espresso
1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch (~1/8 teaspoon) Chinese 5 spice powder, optional
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
zest of one large orange
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

1
Whisk together flour, espresso powder, cocoa, Chinese 5 spice powder (if using) and salt. Set aside.
2
Melt butter and chocolate in a large heavy pot over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove pan from heat and whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated, then add orange extract, zest and juice till incorporated. Stir in flour mixture until just blended.
3
Heat oven to 350. When the oven is heated, scoop tablespoon sized balls of dough about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. (The cookies spread a little bit.) Bake for 15-17 minutes, reversing cookie sheet halfway through, till the tops are dry and beginning to crack slightly. (Because my oven is so temperamental, I always bake one sheet at a time. I fit 9 cookies on a large cookie sheet. It took 3 batches to bake all of these.)
4
Let cookies cool on sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
