Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter (113g)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tbsp Espresso Powder
  • A splash of hot water (to dissolve espresso powder)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar (110g)
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour (187g)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the butter and sugars: Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, then mix thoroughly until combined and smooth.
  2. Mix espresso paste: Dissolve the espresso powder in a small splash of hot water to form a smooth paste. Add this paste to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Crack the egg into the bowl along with the vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
  5. Chill the dough: Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. This makes the dough easier to handle and helps cookies maintain their shape during baking.
  6. Prepare baking sheet and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  7. Scoop and shape dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, take walnut-sized portions of dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Place the dough balls evenly spaced on the baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake the cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the espresso powder to 4 tablespoons.
  • Ensure dough is well chilled to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Use good quality espresso powder for best results.
  • Optionally, add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
