Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cream the butter with the sugars, salt and coffee using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture mixing with rubber spatula and folding movements. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.

Using a 1-tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet (I find helpful to use some parchment paper) about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2-inch circle. Bake for about 14 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.

Serve warm with a glass of milk.
