Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips optional
- Flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Add espresso powder and hot water to a small bowl and stir until a paste forms. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add egg, vanilla, and espresso paste and mix until combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to over-mix. Fold in chocolate chunks or chips, if using.
- Put dough in fridge to chill for 30-60 minutes.
- When cookie dough is almost done chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoon of cookie dough (I use a #40 cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets about 1 ½ inches apart. Top with more chocolate chunks if you want. Sprinkle tops of cookie dough with sea salt if desired.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are just turning golden around the edges, but are still soft. Let cookies cool in the pan for a couple minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
