Directions

  1. 1

    I highly recommend using a scale and measuring in grams. Cups are not precise enough. KITCHEN SCALES ARE INEXPENSIVE! Click here and check out:)

Brown the butter:

  1. 1

    Cut your butter in pieces, place them into a stainless steel pan (or a light-colored one) over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Stir, stir, stir and always keep an eye on it. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Stir until it turns golden brown.

  3. 3

    Brown butter will be ready when you'll see browned specks at the bottom of the pan. Immediately pour it into a bowl to cool down at room temperature.Want to make sure not to make a mess? Watch this video.

Make cookie dough:

  1. 1

    Using a stand mixer with the flat beater (or by hand, with a whisk!), beat butter and sugar medium high speed for 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add egg and vanilla and let incorporate for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Add flour, baking soda, salt and coffee and stir with a spatula just until incorporated.

  4. 4

    Now add the chopped salted caramel chocolate chips and stir with the spatula again. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Let chill into the fridge for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven at 345F (175C).

  7. 7

    Form your cookies, using an ice cream scoop. Place them well spaced on a lined baking tray. If necessary use 2 trays (I placed 5 on a tray, 5 on another).

  8. 8

    Bake for 11-13 minutes. While you bake one batch, place the other into the fridge.

  9. 9

    IMPORTANT: they are ready when their edges look crisp, but the center looks soft (they will keep setting as they cool). DO NOT overbake them.

  10. 10

    A few minutes after taking them out of the oven, place a chocolate chip on top of the cookie. My chips are heavy and for this recipe I've used a total of 125 gr. Which is about 1 cup.

  11. 11

    If your cookies are not round once baked: this is a tip I've learned from Mike (@mikebakesnyc), while the cookies are still warm use a round food ring to make it "rotate" and smooth out the edges.

About this Recipe

Indulge in the Ultimate Coffee Cookies with Caramel Chocolate Chips

Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable experience with these Coffee Cookies With Caramel Chocolate Chips! If you're a fan of rich, deep flavors and incredibly chewy cookies, this recipe is about to become your new obsession. We're talking about the dream team: the bold, aromatic essence of coffee perfectly blended with luscious caramel and classic chocolate chips. It’s a sophisticated twist on your favorite dessert, guaranteed to impress.

What makes these cookies truly special is the way the intense coffee flavor is woven throughout the dough, creating a warmth that perfectly complements the pockets of gooey caramel chocolate chips. Each bite delivers a delightful contrast: the slight bitterness of coffee, the sweet chew of caramel, and the comforting melt of milk chocolate, all balanced with a hint of salt flakes on top. This isn't just a cookie; it's a gourmet treat designed for those who appreciate complex, indulgent flavors.

Tips for Perfect Coffee & Caramel Bliss

  • Coffee Intensity: The recipe uses instant coffee powder, which provides a robust coffee flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, you can slightly reduce the amount, or increase it for an extra kick! You can even experiment with espresso powder for a deeper, more refined coffee note.
  • Chocolate Choices: While caramel chocolate chips are a star, feel free to play with the other chocolate components. A mix of dark chocolate chips with the milk chocolate can add another layer of complexity. Ensure you have extra chips to press onto the warm cookies for that bakery-style finish!
  • Flour Power: We recommend using all-purpose flour (or '00' flour for an even finer texture) to achieve the perfect chewiness. Avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added, as this can lead to tough cookies.

Serve these delightful dessert cookies with a fresh cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for the ultimate treat. They're perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a decadent evening indulgence.
