Best 3 Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

CHEWY ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter begins to foam and turns a golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma. Take butter off the heat and allow to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat until mixed together. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• In separate bowl mix together the flour, espresso powder, salt and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until everything comes together. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Do not over mix.
• Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least a half hour, or overnight.
• When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough out into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the centers have puffed up but are still gooey.
• Allow to cool before eating!

CARDAMOM AND ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time until thoroughly combined. Mix in instant espresso powder and vanilla extract.
• Mix flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Drop dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on the pans 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• To a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter has melted, turn off the heat. Stir in the espresso and mix until it's covered in the butter. Cover the saucepan and allow to steep for 20 minutes. When it's done, pour it through a fine mesh strainer, into a large bowl OR the bowl of a stand-up mixer.
• Discard the used up espresso grounds. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, whisk the flour, espresso grounds, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
• Grab the large bowl OR the bowl of a stand-up mixer (using the paddle attachment) with the melted/espresso butter in it. To that bowl, add the brown sugar and white sugar. Beat together until nice and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Pour in the vanilla extract and beat once more.
• In one batch, add the flour. You will probably have to lift up the head part of your mixer to be able to add it all at once. Cover the mixer with a clean kitchen towel and turn it on low speed. Mix until the flour is mostly combined and then increase speed until you no longer see any flecks of flour. Pour in the chocolate chunks and mix one last time. Transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for an hour or up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out balls of dough. If it's super chilled, you may need to push some dough into the scoop so it's nice and compact and then release the lever. I like to add all the balls of cookie dough to a sheet of parchment versus scooping dough, as I bake.
• Transfer 6 to 7 balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a part because these do spread. Place in the oven and bake for about 7 to 8 minutes. If the dough is super cold, it may need up to 10 minutes to bake. They should be light to medium golden brown. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt upon exiting the oven. Repeat until you've baked all the cookies.
• To freeze, add the cookie dough balls to a baking sheet and stick in the freezer until very cold, about 20 minutes and then transfer to a freezer-safe plastic bag.
