Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies
Easy one bowl chocolate chip espresso cookies. No chill time required for super soft and chewy cookies packed with chocolate chunks and espresso powder!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cup all purpose flour or plain flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 5 oz espresso morsels (see note)
- 5 oz dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) with a sheet pan in the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar for about 2 minutes using a handheld electric beater.
- Add the egg and vanilla, beating to combine.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and espresso powder into the mixture. Stir together using a spatula until you have a thick dough.
- Add the espresso morsels and chocolate chunks, reserving a small handful of each for topping the cookies before baking. Stir through to distribute in the dough.
- Carefully remove the preheated sheet pan from the oven and cover with a piece of parchment paper.
- Scoop balls of cookie dough and place these well spaced on the parchment (see note). Flatten each slightly using a lightly dampened palm and top each with a couple of the reserved espresso morsels and chocolate chunks.
- Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until going lightly golden at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling. Repeat the baking process until finished with your dough.
Notes
Espresso morsels are a chocolate chip with espresso coffee flavouring. If you're unable to find these, you can substitute with additional chocolate chips and increasing the amount of espresso powder by half a tablespoon.
