With the coffee-infused butter ready, preheat the oven to 190 °C / 375 °F.
Meanwhile, combine 1 ¾ cup All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking soda, ½ tsp Baking powder, ¼ cup Cocoa, 2 tbsp Finely ground espresso beans, and ½ tsp Salt in a bowl in one bowl and mix them. Put the infused butter (with the liquid part), 1 ½ cup Brown sugar, and ½ cup White sugar in another.

With a mixer, start beating the infused butter and sugars together until the butter is softened and the sugar is combined.
Add 2 Eggs and 2 tsp Vanilla extract and, using the mixer, mix for another 3-5 minutes on the highest setting.
2 Eggs, 2 tsp Vanilla extract
Now lower the mixer speed to medium, and gradually add the dry ingredient (flour mix) until they are well combined.
Add 1 ½ cup Dark chocolate chips to the bowl and mix it in with a spatula.
1 ½ cup Dark chocolate chips
On a baking pan, place parchment paper, and using an ice cream scoop (if you don’t have an ice cream scoop, make 2 tbsp size balls from the cookie dough), put scoops on the parchment paper, leaving 4 cm / 2-inch space between them so they don’t merge during baking.
Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes until you see that they start to create a crust on the edges, but do not overcook them since they need to be creamy inside when cooled down.
