CHOCOLATE CHIP ESPRESSO SHORTBREAD COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Espresso Shortbread Cookies image

My son loves shortbread. He had his first taste of it when he was in Scotland on a missions trip when he was 16. He brought me a shortbread mold as a thank you for getting him all together for his trip and identically shaving all his hair off before he went. (I had never used the hair clippers before and he wanted me to cut...

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp instant espresso powder
1 Tbsp boiling water
8 oz butter, unsalted, no substitutions this is a butter cookie
2/3 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c semi-sweet mini chocloate chips or chopped bitter-sweet chocolate
powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve the espresso in the boiling water, and set aside to cool to tepid. Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth.
  • 2. Beat in the vanilla and espresso, then reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour, mixing only until it disappears into the dough. Don't work the dough much once the flour is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips with a sturdy rubber spatula.
  • 3. Using the spatula, transfer the soft, sticky dough to a gallon-size zipper-lock plastic bag. Put the bag on a flat surface, leaving the top open, and roll the dough into a 9 x 10 1/2 inch rectangle that's 1/4 inch thick. As you roll, turn the bag occasionally and lift the plastic from the dough so it doesn't cause creases. When you get the right size and thickness, seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or for up to 2 days.
  • 4. Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Put the plastic bag on a cutting board and slit it open. Turn the firm dough out onto the board (discard the bag) and, using a ruler as a guide and a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Transfer the squares to the baking sheets and carefully prick each one twice with a fork, gently pushing the tines through the cookies until they hit the sheet.
  • 5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point. The shortbreads will be very pale-they shouldn't take on much color. Transfer the cookies to a rack. If you'd like, dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar while they are still hot. Cool the cookies to room temperature before serving.

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter (1 stick), softened
1 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsp granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp instant espresso coffee powder
1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter with sugars on medium speed until fluffy(about 30 seconds).
  • 2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
  • 3. Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and soda and salt and beat in to the butter mixture at low speed for about 20 seconds. Stir in espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
  • 4. Using a cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle.
  • 5. Bake for about 17-20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips work well in this recipe.
  • If you don't have instant espresso powder, you can use brewed espresso instead. Just reduce the amount of water in the recipe by 2 tablespoons.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, but not overbaked. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip espresso cookies are the perfect treat for any coffee lover. They are rich, chocolatey, and have just the right amount of espresso flavor. They are also easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy cookie recipe, give these chocolate chip espresso cookies a try!
