Equipment
- hand mixer or stand mixer
- large cookie sheet
- cookie scoop (I used a 3 tbs size)
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp instant coffee powder
- 320 grams all-purpose flour (2 ½ cups)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugars. (You can do this in a large bowl with a hand mixer OR in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.) Scrape down the bowl as needed until everything is evenly incorporated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee powder until smooth. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and continue beating until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a bit at a time – I do this in three parts – mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until no more dry flour remains. The dough should feel like a slightly dry Play-Doh. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop cookies onto an unlined baking sheet or cookie sheet with a cookie scoop, leaving 1-2 inches between the cookies. Use the rounded side of the cookie scoop, your hand, or a fork to lightly press down the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
Notes
- Please note that nutrition facts are an estimate and can vary widely based on amounts and specific types used.
- Add mix-ins – For added texture and flavor, fold in mix-ins before chilling the dough. Try chocolate chips, nuts, or toffee bits.
- Add toppings – To dress up your cookies, sprinkle them with coarse sugar, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or sprinkles. You can also drizzle your cookies with melted caramel, white chocolate, or dark chocolate.
