    Ingredients

    Ingredients with labels for coffee cookies.

    Key Ingredients

    Espresso Powder - Gives the cookies their robust coffee flavor. Be sure to use a high-quality brand for the best flavor.

    Cinnamon - Gives more depth of flavor to the cookies.

    Unsalted Butter - Provides flavor, structure, and moisture to the cookies.

    Brown Sugar - Gives the cookies their sweetness. Also, brown sugar has more moisture than white sugar resulting in chewier softer cookies.

    Salt - Brings out all of the other flavors to create a better-tasting cookie. I always suggest using either fine kosher or sea salt. Avoid table salt for the best flavor.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Note: Full list of ingredients, their amounts, and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

    Step 1:

    Flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

    Step 2:

    Butter, brown sugar, and espresso powder in a bowl and then creamed together.

    In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and espresso powder until they are well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3:

    One egg and vanilla extract added to creamed butter, sugar, and espresso powder.

    Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

    Step 4:

    Dry ingredients added to the wet ingredients and then mixed in.

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until they come together. Avoid overmixing the dough.

    Step 5:

    Chocolate chips added to coffee cookie dough and then mixed in.

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.

    Step 6:

    Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. The dough can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Step 7:

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 8:

    Cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet.

    Using a cookie scooper (mine is 1.25 ounces), scoop out cookie dough balls and place them on the lined baking sheet leaving about 3 inches between each one.

    Step 9:

    Bake the cookies for 12 minutes or until the edges set and the middle is still a bit doughy.

    Step 10:

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

    Tips & Tricks

    • Be sure to chill the cookie dough. This will keep them from spreading too much when baking.
    • To make these in advance, freeze the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet for 2 hours then transfer them to a freezer bag. Then you can have freshly baked cookies anytime you want them. You don't even have to thaw them first!

    Storage

    Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
