- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour all purpose or gluten free flour

Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in the egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda, espresso powder and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place at least 3 inches apart on pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and middles are set.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to fully cool before removing. They are soft and fragile.

Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Softened or melted butter will make these cookies spread too much.
- Beat butter and sugars until completely combined. It should be completely creamy.
- Use less espresso powder for a more mild flavor.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work well.
- Bake until cookies are just barely set in the middle. They will firm up as they cool down.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for 1 month if needed.
