Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheets w/parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder, and reserve.
Step 3
In a large bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture to butter-sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
Step 4
Stir in chocolate chips and instant expresso powder. Using a 2 Tbls scoop, drop dough 3" apart onto prepared baking sheets and lightly press down on dough to spread the dough into 2" circles (there should be room for 6 or 8 cookies at a time).
Step 5
Bake until cookies are nicely browned around edges, about 20 minutes (bake a little longer for crisper cookies).
Step 6
Remove from oven, cool cookies on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
