Ingredients

  • Coffee Cookie Dough:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons pure coffee extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Espresso Sugar:
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons instant espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 3 minutes until fluffy.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and coffee extract. Add to creamed butter and beat another 3 minutes.
  5. Mix in dry ingredients on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop dough into 2 oz portions.
  7. In a small bowl, mix sugar and espresso powder. Roll dough balls in the espresso sugar until fully coated.
  8. Place 5 cookies per baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 11–12 minutes, until edges are crisp and centers puffed. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Add mini chocolate chips for a mocha flavor.
  • Use demerara sugar in the coating for added crunch.
  • Drizzle cooled cookies with coffee glaze for a fancier finish.
  • Freeze dough balls for later and bake straight from the freezer.
