Coffee Cookies
Description
Get the Recipe: Coffee Cookies feature a mix of cold butter, granulated white sugar, firmly packed light brown sugar, and a measured amount of espresso powder that lends a mild coffee essence without overpowering the sweetness. The dough also includes an egg, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt, finished by folding in chocolate chips. Chilled butter and beating the butter with sugars until smooth help ensure the cookie dough has a thick consistency that bakes into cookies with just-set centers after 9 to 10 minutes of baking.
The baking step requires spacing large scoops of dough apart on a parchment-lined tray to prevent spreading and promote even cooking. Cooling on the pan allows the cookies to firm up while retaining softness inside. Optionally sprinkling sea salt adds a saline note that balances the chocolate and coffee flavors.
This recipe makes about 10 large or 14 to 15 medium-sized cookies, suited for sharing or for those who want to enjoy a coffee-flavored cookie at home. These cookies store well in airtight containers or freeze conveniently to retain freshness.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter cold
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar white
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour gluten free 1 to 1 or all purpose
- ½ tsp baking soda
- pinch salt sea salt
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda, sea salt and espresso powder. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop large balls of dough onto lined pan. Leave at least 3 inches of space between each ball of dough.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just barely set in the middle.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the refrigerator to maintain the dough's thickness and prevent cookies from spreading too thin.
- Beat butter and sugars thoroughly until smooth and free of butter clumps for an even texture.
- Adjust espresso powder to taste; reducing it will soften the coffee flavor, but avoid increasing it for balanced taste.
- Bake until cookies are just set in the center, as they firm upon cooling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or freeze for longer storage.
