Espresso Cookies Recipes
Soft and chewy Chocolate Espresso Cookies with bold coffee flavor, dark chocolate chips, and crispy edges. The perfect coffee-inspired cookie for espresso lovers!
Servings: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup instant espresso
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips, divided
- flaked sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with both sugars for 2-3 minutes until fully combined. Add in egg yolks and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
- Add in flour, instant espresso, baking powder, and kosher salt. The mixture will be crumbly to start, continue beating until it comes together into a ball. Add in 1 cup of the dark chocolate chips.
- Using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough onto cookie sheets. Lightly press down the tops with the palm of your hand. Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
- Remove cookies from oven and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of flaked sea salt, if desired. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Instant Espresso (like Cafe Bustelo) can be swapped for Espresso Powder (like King Arthur Flour). Either will work great in this cookie recipe.
- Dark chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped dark chocolate bars.
- Add in chopped chocolate covered espresso beans for an even bigger coffee punch of flavor.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months, or use my guide to freeze the cookie dough.
