Description
These Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy and so addicting. They pack a ton of flavor with notes of coffee, chocolate chunks, and flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of instant coffee with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, baking powder and baking soda until combined.
- In a stand mixer bowl with beater attachment, (or large bowl with hand mixer), combine softened butter with brown and granulated sugar. Mix on medium low speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in vanilla extract and egg and blend on medium low for 60 seconds, then pour in coffee and blend for 30 seconds.
- Pour in dry ingredients and blend on low just until combined.
- Mix in the chocolate chips into the batter and combine. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and scoop 1 tablespoon size balls onto the cookie sheets.
- Try to spread the cookies out a bit because they do flatten while baking. Top each cookie ball with a bit of flaky sea salt. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. If odd shaped, place a cup rim over the top and run in circular motion to make more circular. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature. It helps create more air bubbles with the sugar and creates a much better cookie.
- The dough is a bit sticky, but the batter doesn't have to be in perfect balls. Just dollop it onto the cookie sheet.
- Don't over bake or they will get too crispy and hard.
