Our coffee cookies are a delicious treat that combines the delectable flavors of espresso and dark chocolate in one indulgent bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • ⅓ cup espresso powder, (I used Delallo)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup salted sweet cream butter, (12 tablespoons, softened )
  • ⅔ cup dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 extra large whole egg, (room temperature)
  • 1 extra large egg yolk, (room temperature)
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks ((I used Nestle Toll House))
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips ((I used Hershey’s))

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

  2. 2

    Using a stand mixer or a medium-sized mixing bowl and handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened butter and sugars together for 1½ to 2 minutes until completely incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Continue mixing until no yellow streaks remain.

  4. 4

    Add ½ of the flour and espresso mixture, and mix just until combined. Repeat for the remaining flour mixture.

  5. 5

    Add the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and the dark chocolate chips. Mix just until incorporated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Use a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Space the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
