Ingredients
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- 1 large egg + 1 yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons espresso powder
- 1 ¼ cups chocolate chunks Good quality
Instructions
- Let your salted butter soften until it’s nice. Mix it with both granulated and brown sugars until the blend becomes light and fluffy, this is the base for that perfect cookie texture.
- Add a generous splash of vanilla, then crack in the whole egg plus the extra yolk for extra chewiness.
- Stir in the espresso powder until everything is smooth and combined, this is where the coffee flavor really starts to shine.
- Slowly fold in the flour and baking soda, mixing just until the dough starts coming together but still feels a bit chunky. Go light on mixing to keep them tender.
- Add the chocolate chunks with care for gooey bites. Then cover the dough and chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours, this helps the flavors deepen and makes the dough easier to work with.
- When ready, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers stay soft. Right after baking, press a few extra chocolate chunks on top for a melty, irresistible finish. Enjoy!
Notes
- Using cold butter instead of softened can make the dough hard to mix evenly, so let it get cozy at room temp.
- Remember to pull them out when edges look set but centers still feel soft, they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Give each cookie room to spread and bake properly.
