Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 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 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
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, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sprinkle in the instant coffee granules and beat until combined. This is the secret ingredient that adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly undercooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Shhh Secret Secret Cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee, and don't forget to share the 'secret' sparingly!
