Servings: 21 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoon instant coffee or instant espresso
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chunks I used 72% chocolate chunks about 5 oz. any chocolate will be delicious, I do love 60% chips too.
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for tops of cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Cut butter into tablespoons so it will melt evenly, in a microwave-safe bowl add butter and microwave about 25 seconds, you do not want to "boil" the butter, it should almost be all melted but not completely liquidy. Mix it with a spoon as the hotter spots will slowly melt the other areas of butter not yet completely melted.
- Stir in the instant coffee granules until they completely dissolve.
- In the large bowl of a mixer add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar and mix until combined well.
- Beat in the vanilla and egg.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt and mix on low at first then once it's added in mix on medium to fully combine.
- Stir in chocolate chunks.
- On parchment-lined baking sheet add cookie dough in 2 tablespoon portions spread out 2 inches apart for even baking.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes (12 will give you chewier cookies, 14 will be firmer cookies)
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets then serve.
