Rezept
Zubereitungszeit ca. 52 MinutenVorbereitung ca. 40 MinutenKochzeit ca. 12 Minuten
Zutaten:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Arbeitsschritte:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a large bowl. Mix to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir the espresso powder and 1 tablespoon of hot water together until a smooth paste forms.
- Add the espresso paste to the butter and sugar mixture and stir until evenly incorporated with no streaks.
- Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms with no dry pockets of flour.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes, until firm enough to scoop cleanly.
- Towards the end of the chilling period, preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Scoop roughly 1 ½ tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each one to allow space for spreading.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed but still soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes, until firm enough to lift without bending.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
