Description

These Chocolate Chip Coffee Cookies combine the rich flavors of espresso with classic semi-sweet chocolate chips in a tender, gluten-free cookie. Perfect for coffee lovers, these cookies have a delightful balance of sweetness with a hint of bold coffee flavor, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour (can substitute regular flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl or a stand mixer bowl, add the softened unsalted butter along with the white and brown sugars.
  2. Cream together: Beat the butter and sugars together for about 1 minute until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Beat until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, measure out and spoon and level the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  5. Mix and fold in chocolate chips: Mix all ingredients just until combined. Then gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
  6. Chill dough: Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to handle.
  7. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
  8. Scoop dough: Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each scoop to allow cookies to spread.
  9. Add extra chocolate chips: Press a few additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie dough ball for a more visually appealing cookie and a chocolate boost.
  10. Bake: Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
  11. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy your coffee-infused chocolate chip cookies!

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can increase the instant coffee powder to 3 tablespoons.
  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Chilling the dough is important to control spread and enhance flavor.
  • To make these cookies vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use a flax egg instead of a regular egg.
  • Cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to 5 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
