These Coffee Cookies are soft inside with slightly crisp edges, featuring a rich coffee flavor paired with chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (218 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (8 g) instant coffee
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cups (140 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for adding on top
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Dissolve the instant coffee and vanilla together in a ramekin. Add egg yolks and the mixture to the butter mixture; mix on high speed until fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing on low and then medium-low until just combined.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
  7. Scoop dough into balls (2 tablespoons each) and arrange them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
