How to make chewy espresso chocolate chip cookies
To make these soft and chewy espresso chocolate chip cookies, grab a bowl of a stand mixer or a mixing bowl. It’s best to use a mixer or hand mixer but no big deal if you don’t have either. Place softened room temperature butter in a bowl, add in the espresso, vanilla, sugar and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Next, add in the eggs one a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the other. Pour in all of the dry ingredients at once and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Lastly, add in the chocolate chips and mix to combine. Using a medium size scoop, scoop the cookies on a parchment lined sheet tray.
Once you have the cookies on the tray, I recommend adding extra chocolate chips to the top of each cookie ball. Chill the cookie dough for at 1-2 hours, this will give the cookies better structure and will really bring out the coffee flavor. When your ready to bake, line the cookies on a separate baking sheet at least 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350.
Tips for perfect cookies
- Always use room temperature ingredients: If your ingredients are too cold, it will take longer for the dough to come together which will usually result in overmixing. You’ll end up with a tough cookie.
- Mixing your butter, sugar and espresso together: Allowing the butter to fully mix in with the sugar and espresso will help create a light, chewy cookie.
- Let the cookie dough chill: It’s super important to let the dough chill before baking. If you bake the cookies right away you’ll notice they spread a lot. So having the cookies chill will allow the butter to harden and allows the cookie to bake slowly.
