Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Instant coffee
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Additional
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Prepare Coffee Powder: Using a food processor, blend the instant coffee into a fine powder to ensure it integrates smoothly into your dough for an even coffee flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to distribute the leavening agents and spices evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk or mix the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, white granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips so they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, place rounded balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them well to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the cookie edges turn golden brown, indicating they are done but still soft inside.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly.
Notes
- For stronger coffee flavor, increase instant coffee up to 3 tablespoons.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips as preferred.
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
