Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the chocolate dough until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  2. Gradually stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and optional espresso powder. Set aside.
