Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup All-purpose flour spooned then leveled
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 2 ½ heaping tablespoons Espresso powder I used Bustelo
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 ounces 1 ¾ sticks Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Light brown sugar lightly packed -
  • 14 ounces 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Dulce de leche melted

Instructions

  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, espresso powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment over medium/high speed, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk in a stream followed by the vanilla extract. Mix on high speed for about until completely combined, about 2-3 minutes. Stop and scrape the mixer to incorporate ingredients.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and mix over low speed until ingredients are combined, about 15-20 seconds. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. As the dough chills, preheat your over to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Once your dough is chilled, remove it from the fridge and with a small or medium cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. These cookies will spread, so be sure to leave enough space; otherwise you’ll end up with one giant cookie situation.
  • Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes, rotating the pan midway through. Bake until lightly browned and the tops appear crackled. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with melted dulce de leche. A little or a lot, your choice.
