Basically a half-recipe of Bon Appetit's version from Bien Cuit
Ingredients:
1 C buckwheat flour
6 1/2 t unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 stick of butter (1/2 C), room temperature
3/4 C packed light brown sugar
1 t strong coffee or espresso
1/2 C chocolate chips
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling atop cookies
Methodology:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a small bowl to combine and break up lumps.
Using a hand-mixer, beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until lighter and fluffy, 4 minutes. Add coffee and mix briefly.
Add flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until mixture is combined, then blend with the mixer until all ingredients are well-combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 1 1/2" apart. Sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, cool on pan for 2 minutes, then cool on rack.
