Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 270 g (2 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 170 g (12 tablespoon) unsalted butter, room temp
- 160 g (3/4 cup) light brown sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 24 g (1/4 cup) espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg, room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 113 g (4 oz) dark chocolate, + more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the espresso powder, salt, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate pieces (and additional chocolate if desired). Be sure not to overmix the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after they are removed from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer coffee flavor, you can increase the espresso powder by 1 tablespoon.
- If you like a more gooey texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them set on the baking sheet.
- These cookies pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or milk!
