Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and instant espresso powder, ensuring everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
If desired, lightly brush the tops of the cookies with a small amount of milk and dust with cocoa powder for a cappuccino-like finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your cappuccino cookies with a fresh cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
