Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then mix in the melted unsalted butter and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then gently add in the chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a 12-inch long log on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake the logs for 25–30 minutes until firm and slightly cracked, then cool for 15 minutes.
  7. Slice the logs diagonally into ¾-inch pieces and return to the oven for 15–20 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
