Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate mocha experience!
