Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Coarse or turbinado sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant coffee powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. If desired, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of coarse or turbinado sugar for an extra crunch.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake for a soft, chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Cafe Coffee Cookies with a warm cup of coffee or milk!
