Equipment

  • Hand Mixer
  • Cookie Scooper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt fine kosher or sea salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup espresso powder
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and espresso powder until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until they are combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the chilled dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet leaving about 3 inches between each one.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still a little doughy. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • A cookie scoop makes for even cookies and even baking.
  • If you'd like to make these in advance, freeze the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet for 2 hours then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Then, you can have freshly baked cookies anytime you want. You don't even have to thaw them first!
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
