Absolutely delicious! I left out the coffee, but otherwise kept the recipe the same. These are amazing even after they’ve been frozen!

Oh wow!! These are amazing. I didn’t have milk chocolate chips, but my daughter and I wanted to make them anyway, so we used semi-sweet. So, so good! And, no eggs, so feel free to indulge in eating cookie dough. Definitely a keeper!!

I read that you can ‘make’ dutch processed cocoa, by starting with Hershey’s cocoa and adding a pinch of baking soda to every 3 Tablespoons of cocoa.

I made these cookies last night (with the modified Hershey’s cocoa) and the taste was wonderful. I’ll have to try the ‘real’ dutch processed cocoa in this recipe to see what the difference is.

If you look at the ingredients in your cocoa powder and there are other ingredients besides cocoa then it is probably dutch processed cocoa powder. I think it was Fine Cooking that said the cocoa beans were washed in a potassium rinse to rid of the acidity. But with these cookies I think it would be okay to use natural but it wouldn’t be the exact same results in texture.

And I just used instant coffee so that I could use more coffee flavour with less liquid. I’m sure you could use a couple teaspoons of espresso or really strong coffee in its place.

Oh and as for fleur de sel, regular sea salt or even a bit of kosher salt would be great. I had a hard time finding fleur de sel and when I did it was in a food specialty store.

My husband salts the top of chocolate chip cookies when he makes them and they are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. I can’t wait to try these!

Is there a particular reason for the coffee being instant, or will regular brewed coffee work just as well?

Most grocery stores don’t carry dutched cocoa (sometimes you can find a Hershey’s version that is half dutched, half natural). I get mine at a local coop. If all else fails, you should be able to use regular cocoa. You just won’t get quite the depth of flavor you’d get with dutch-processed cocoa.

I made these this afternoon, and replaced 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips with diced candied orange peel. Delicious!!! I am trying to force myself to stay away from them and out of the kitchen!
