Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 2 tablespoons espresso powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a large cookie scoop or two spoons, drop dough balls about 3 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 20 minutes if too soft or sticky to prevent excessive spreading. Watch baking time carefully; remove cookies when edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft for chewy centers. Espresso powder should be sifted with flour to avoid clumps and bitterness. Dough can be refrigerated up to 48 hours before baking to improve flavor and texture.
