Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on high speed until it is light and fluffy.
-
Add both the light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is very creamy and well combined.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, cornstarch, nonfat milk powder, coffee powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined and the dough is smooth.
-
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Roll the dough into small, grape-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
-
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set.
-
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
-
For storage, freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 4 months; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
