Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter (113g)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tbsp Espresso Powder

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar (110g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour (187g)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave until fully liquefied. Pour it into a mixing bowl and combine with both the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, stirring until smooth and well blended.
  2. Prepare Espresso Paste: Dissolve the espresso powder by adding a splash of hot water, and stir vigorously to form a concentrated espresso paste. Add this coffee mixture to the butter and sugar blend, stirring thoroughly to integrate the flavors.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack the large egg into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Mix everything together until you achieve a uniform batter with a smooth consistency.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms without overworking.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Chilling firms the dough, making it easier to scoop and helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  7. Form Cookie Balls: Using a spoon, scoop walnut-sized portions of dough. Roll each scoop into a smooth ball using your hands. Place the balls spaced at least 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet to allow for spreading while baking.
  8. Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies rest on the sheet for at least 10 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For stronger coffee flavor, increase espresso powder to 4 tablespoons.
  • You can substitute espresso powder with instant coffee granules if necessary.
  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading during baking.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
