Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup baking chocolate
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon finely ground espresso
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and espresso, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chocolate, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Enjoy your delicious coffee chocolate chip cookies with a warm cup of your favorite brew!
