Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 200 grams dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon (for sprinkling, optional) flake sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
If desired, sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of flake sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
Bake each sheet in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Caballero Cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence!
