Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-Ins:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and espresso powder until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
- Bake: Scoop the dough into portions and place them on the baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and centers are still soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra mocha kick, increase espresso powder to 1 tablespoon.
- You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Substitute milk chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
