Ingredients
Scale
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon ground espresso
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a stainless steel pan, brown the butter over medium heat until it reaches an amber color, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let it cool.
- Stir in the ground espresso and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
- Combine both sugars into the cooled butter mixture and mix well for one minute.
- Whisk in one large egg, one egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Scoop rounded dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray and chill in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours (preferably overnight).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) when ready to bake. Bake cookies spaced two inches apart for about 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Let cool on a wire rack before enjoying!
