Print Recipe

These espresso chocolate chip cookies combine bold coffee flavor with gooey chocolate in a low-sugar treat that’s perfect for coffee lovers and cookie enthusiasts alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underdone—that’s okay!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘For a stronger coffee flavor, sprinkle a pinch of espresso powder over the dough balls before baking.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.’, ‘These cookies freeze well, so consider making a double batch.’]
