Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons Rum
- 2 tablespoons Brewed strong coffee (cooled)
- 210 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, rum, and brewed coffee until well combined. The mixture may appear slightly curdled, but that is normal.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant coffee granules, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie 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 and the centers look slightly underdone. Avoid overbaking for soft, chewy cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Coffee Rum Cookies with a cup of coffee or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
