Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Continue until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small cup, dissolve the instant espresso powder in 1 tablespoon of warm water. Add this to the melted chocolate mixture and stir well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the slightly cooled chocolate-espresso mixture to the sugar and eggs, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the tops with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve and enjoy your Cappuccino Love Bites with a hot cup of coffee or your favorite tea.
