Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chewy centered, crispy edged cookies with pockets of melted dark chocolate and an undeniably delicious coffee flavor.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoon finely ground instant coffee
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, see notes (218 grams)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling on the cookies optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add ¾ cup of softened, salted butter, ¾ cup of light brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar to a large bowl. Cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer for two minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- To the creamed butter and sugars, add in two egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 2 tablespoon finely ground instant coffee and mix on medium speed for two minutes, or until the mixture is pale in color and fluffy.
- Add in 1 ¾ cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ½ baking soda. Mix until combined. (Please see recipe notes on properly measuring the flour for these cookies. Too much flour will ruin the cookies consistency.)
- Add in 1 cup of chocolate chips and mix just until incorporated.
- Scoop the dough into 20 balls. (Arrange 6 at a time on a prepared baking sheets.)
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle them with flaky sea salt. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool for 10 minutes and then dig in!
Notes
***Measure your flour properly. This is always my #1 baking tip. Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour. This will always lead to using too much flour. (Trust me, I've learned the hard way that I need to measure properly!) Instead, sprinkle spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and swipe excess flour off with the back of a knife. Or better yet, weigh your flour. 1 cup of flour equals 125 grams.
