Ingredients

8 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1" chunks 113g
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1 cup dark brown sugar 213g
1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp espresso powder
2 large eggs 100g
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa 63g
2 cups cake flour 260g
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 170g
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips 170g

For coating

3 tbsp granulated sugar, optional 37.5g
1/2 cup powdered sugar 113g

Instructions

Beat the butter and shortening together until creamy. Add both sugars and cream for 2-3 minutes, or until well combined. Beat in vanilla and espresso. Beat in eggs one at at time.
Sprinkle in salt and baking powder and beat to combine. Next, beat in the cocoa. Finally, add the flour and beat until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide dough into 15 balls (about 68 grams each). Roll balls in granulated sugar if using (this helps keeps the powdered sugar white), then in powdered sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour. (If chilling overnight, place in a covered container.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (350 for convection). If dough has been chilled overnight, remove dough from fridge 20-30 minutes before baking. Roll the chilled dough balls in powdered sugar once again and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 4" apart. Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed, fragrant, and the edges look set and center still looks very soft.
