PIN RECIPE
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar can use dark if preferred
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in softened butter (see notes section), granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream these ingredients together on high speed for about 3 minutes. Texture should be light and airy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Combine on medium speed until incorporated. Add your bowl of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on medium speed until there are a few streaks of flour left.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl again and add in instant coffee. Mix on low speed until evenly incorporated into the cookie dough. Fold in your chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop 8 cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on the bottom rack at 375°F for 13-15 minutes. While your first batch of cookies are baking, add 8 more cookie dough balls onto a second parchment-lined baking sheet.
- After removing cookies from the oven, leave them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt and then transfer them to a wire rack to continue to cool for a few more minutes. You'll want to take them out of the oven when the edges are slightly golden brown but the centers still appear slightly undercooked.
- We recommend baking 1 sheet at a time. This allows for more even baking.
Notes
Take your butter and egg out of the refrigerator 2 hours before you plan on making these cookies. This will allow ample time for them to come to room temperature.
