Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and dissolved coffee mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
- Cool and Garnish: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Garnish with mini chocolate chips while still warm if desired.
Notes
- For stronger coffee flavor, increase instant coffee to 1 tablespoon dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water.
- These cookies stay chewy when stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
