Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 30 seconds. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
  4. Using a 1-ounce scoop or a 2-tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2-inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
  5. Serve warm with a glass of milk.

This was a good cookie. I think I prefer a buttery cookie with a little crunch on the edges. But, this one works for what I think most people prefer. I made the recipe as is. The espresso powder is suppose to bring out the chocolate flavor not change the cookie to one that tastes like coffee. So, the amount is perfect if you just want to enhance the chocolate. I did find the batter stayed a bit crumbly and had to be formed into a ball by hand unlike other recipes.
