Deadly Cookie

I made a cookie last week filled with coffee and three different types of chocolate that will make you cry. You will cry because the cookie is not only amazing but also because you will eat so many of them that you will curl up into a stomach ache induced fetal position.

This cookie is based off of Baked's, Cowboy Cookie. I omitted the pretzels and added grapenuts. No, this was not to add "fiber"but rather, crunch. I also used three different types of chocolate: milk, semi sweet, and 70% dark.

Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the oats to combine.

In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and egg yolk and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. Dissolve the espresso in 1/4 cup hot water and add to the mixture. Mix until combined.

Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (15 seconds). Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and fold in the chocolate and Grape-Nuts.

Cover and refrigerate the bowl for a few hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°. Using a #50 scoop, scoop cookie dough on parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly and bake for 10 minutes.
