Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 TBSP Instant coffee, powder form
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Brown sugar, packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Instant Coffee Powder: Using a food processor, blend the instant coffee granules until it becomes a fine powder. This ensures an even distribution of coffee flavor in the cookie dough.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, instant coffee powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. This helps to evenly mix the ingredients and prevent clumping.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted and cooled unsalted butter, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and room temperature eggs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Mingle Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy baking and cleanup.
  7. Portion Dough: Allow the cookie dough to rest while the oven heats, letting the gluten hydrate for better texture. Using a 2-ounce cookie scoop, scoop 6 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet. Press extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball for an attractive finish.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake cookies one sheet at a time for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly underbaked to maintain chewiness.
  9. Cool Cookies: Allow the baked cookies to sit on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes after removal from the oven, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Measurement Accuracy: Spoon and level the flour or use a kitchen scale to ensure correct measurement; compacted flour can make cookies dry and prevent proper spreading.
  • High Altitude Baking: If baking at high altitude, add an extra 2 tablespoons of flour to the dough to compensate for atmospheric differences.
  • Dairy Tempering: Remove dairy ingredients from the refrigerator about 2 hours before baking to allow them to reach room temperature, which helps with mixing and texture.
  • Freezing Dough: The cookie dough can be frozen for future use; scoop and freeze dough balls on a tray then transfer to a storage container.
  • Flavor Variations: For a twist, substitute espresso powder for instant coffee or add different chocolate chips like white or butterscotch for unique flavor profiles.
