Ingredients
 

  • 1 ¾ cups (218 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (168 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon (8 g) instant coffee
  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • cups (140 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for adding on top
  • flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then set aside the flour mixture.
    1 ¾ cups (218 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated white sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. (If you want to use a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment.)
    ¾ cup (168 g) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • Dissolve the instant coffee and vanilla together in a ramekin. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla/coffee mixture to the butter mixture and mix on high speed until fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoon (8 g) instant coffee, 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little bit at a time and mix on low then medium-low speed just until combined.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and stir them into the dough with a rubber spatula.
    ⅔ cups (140 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for adding on top
  • Scoop the dough into balls using a 2 tablespoon capacity cookie scoop. Arrange the cookie dough balls 6 at a time 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Add extra chocolate chips on top if you wish.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes, then let them cool for five minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 more minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
    (When the cookies are straight out of the oven, use a large circular cookie cutter to give them a perfect shape. Do this by swirling the cookie cutter around each cookie. This will help to push everything together into a perfect circle!)
  • Sprinkle with sea salt, then enjoy! They go great with a cup of coffee!
    flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
