Instructions
 

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer bowl

  • Smooth cookie batter at the bottom of a mixing bowl
    Add in the whole egg and then the yolk, and mix again.
  • Add in the 2- 3 tsp ground coffee, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tsp brewed coffee, and mix on low to combine. About 30 seconds.
  • Turn the mixer off and add in the 2.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Turn the mixer on low moving up to medium speed as the dry ingredients incorporate into the wet.
  • When an evenly mixed dough forms, stop the mixer and stir in the chocolate chunks in by hand so as not to break them up. Chill the dough for 20 minutes.
  • Using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop or a large spoon, scoop out evenly sized balls and bake 6 at a time on a baking sheet.
  • Coffee cookies piled on top of white parchment paper.
    Bake for 15-17 minutes on the lower rack in your oven. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown.

Notes

  • Make sure to properly measure your flour. Spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off.
  • Do not over mix the cookies.
  • If you want more coffee flavor use 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and an extra 1/2 teaspoon brewed coffee or sub the vanilla extract for coffee extract.
  • You can substitute espresso powder for the dry coffee granules 
  • To make brewed coffee- dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee in 2 tsp of hot water. Cool and add to the batter.
