Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Instant espresso powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. If using, whisk in the instant espresso powder at this stage for extra coffee flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes using an electric mixer).
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract and Kahlua.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, beating on low speed just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your indulgent Kahlua Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
