Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 TBSP Instant coffee
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prep Coffee Powder: Place the instant coffee into a food processor and blend until it becomes a fine powder to evenly incorporate coffee flavor into the dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to create a uniform dry mixture that ensures your cookies bake evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter with the brown sugar, granulated white sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined for a creamy base.
- Form Cookie Dough: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula just until combined to avoid overmixing. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for bursts of sweetness in each bite.
- Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring consistent portion sizes and preventing spreading together.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling, which helps the cookies set properly.
Notes
- Make sure not to overmix the cookie dough once you combine the wet and dry ingredients to maintain a tender crumb.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the instant coffee to 3 tablespoons.
- Using parchment paper on baking sheets makes cleanup easier and prevents cookies from sticking.
- For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough along with chocolate chips.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
