Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon Hot water
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and the dissolved coffee mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Coffee Bars with a cup of coffee or as a standalone dessert!
