Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and baking soda; set aside.
• Place unsweetened chocolate, 1 cup semisweet chips, and butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Cook until chocolate begins to melt, about 5 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool 3 minutes.
• Add sugars and, with a rubber spatula, stir until sugars dissolve, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. With spatula, fold in flour mixture just until flour is absorbed. Fold in remaining semisweet chocolate chips.
• Scoop dough by level 1/4-cupfuls onto baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Bake until cookies are set at edges but still soft in center, 11 minutes (do not overbake), rotating sheets halfway through.
• Let cookies cool on sheets on wire racks, 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely, 30 minutes. (Store cookies in an airtight container, up to 2 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

• Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream butter with white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in coffee crystals and vanilla until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients just until everything comes together. Cover, and let stand for 35 minutes so the chocolate can set up.

• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be set, but the centers will still be very soft because of the chocolate. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until very light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Add the chocolate discs and mix briefly to combine. Press plastic wrap against the dough and chill it for at least 24 hours and up to 36.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the dough out into balls slightly larger than golf balls, about 3 1/2 ounces each, and transfer five balls to the baking sheet. (They will spread significantly.) Bake the cookies until set, being careful to remove cookies from the oven when still soft in the center, about 18 minutes. Transfer the parchment with the cookies to a rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough, baking a second batch of four or five cookies. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
• In another mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with a large rubber spatula. Beat in the applesauce and molasses.
• Stir in the dry ingredients to make a soft dough.
• Drop tablespoons of the dough (or use a small ice cream scoop) an inch apart on the prepared pans.
• Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, changing the position of the pans about halfway through the baking. Exchange the top pan and the bottom and also turn them back to front at the same time. The cookies will still be fairly moist when they are done. Avoid overbaking them or they will be dry and hard.
• Slide the papers from the pans to racks to cool the cookies.
