Ingredients

Scale

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 sugars: Add the softened unsalted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Cream together: Beat the butter and sugars together for 1 minute until light and fluffy, establishing a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, beating until fully combined and uniform.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder to the bowl. Spoon and level the flour to ensure accurate measurement.
  5. Mix and fold chocolate chips: Mix the dough until just combined, then carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
  6. Chill dough: Place the completed dough in the refrigerator to chill for 20 to 30 minutes; this step helps the cookies keep their shape when baking.
  7. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  8. Scoop dough onto baking sheet: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, place dollops of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to prevent spreading into each other.
  9. Add extra chocolate chips: Press a few additional chocolate chips onto the top of each dough ball for an attractive and chocolatey finish.
  10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn a golden brown. The centers will remain soft but will firm up as they cool.
  11. Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious coffee-infused chocolate chip cookies!

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase instant coffee powder up to 3 tablespoons.
  • If you use regular all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free, the texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for manageable cookie shapes and better texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well; thaw at room temperature before serving.
