Ingredients:

  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground espresso
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cook the Butter: In a stainless steel pan, cook the butter over medium heat until the butter solids at the bottom are an amber brown color. Scrape all of the butter into your mixing bowl.
  2. Add Espresso: Stir in the ground espresso and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  3. Mix Sugars: Whisk in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt, and chopped chocolate until just combined.
  6. Chill the Dough: Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven, then bake the frozen cookies until golden around the edges but still soft in the middle.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before indulging.

Notes

  • Measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off for accuracy.
