Coffee Cookies
Coffee Cookies: Soft and chewy chocolate coffee cookies with espresso chips. If you like coffee, you need to try these cookies!
We love chocolate chip cookies around here. We’ve made Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies previously. However, this is an amazing twist on chocolate chip cookies! You have to make these coffee cookies. These coffee cookies are soft, chewy, and pack a punch of java flavor. Plus since it contains coffee it counts as breakfast right?!
Make them as a treat for yourself, or the coffee lover in your life! To get that rich coffee flavor we used both espresso powder, and espresso chocolate chips. The espresso powder isn’t finely ground coffee beans as some would think. It is actually coffee crystals that dissolve very quickly in liquid. For best results I suggest using espresso powder, not instant coffee. The flavor of espresso is bolder and more concentrated.
How To Make Coffee Cookies
- Prep Work: Preheat oven, and grease cookie sheet.
- Cream Butter: Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in baking powder, espresso powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add in Flour: Add in cocoa powder, and then flour a little at a time. Then, fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop onto prepared pans. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
How Long Will The Last?
1. To Freeze: These cookies will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Store in an airtight container like a freezer bag. These freeze great!
Another option is to freeze the cookie dough. You can freeze the dough as is, or by scooping into to balls. If scooping into balls, freeze the balls on a sheet pan for ~1 hour before adding to a tupperware container or freezer bag. Cookie dough lasts up to 3 months in the freezer.
2. To Store: Once the cookies have cooled ,store them in an airtight container, or a plastic baggie. These coffee chocolate chip cookies will last up to 1 week when store properly.
How Can You Tell When Cookies Are Done?
When you are making this coffee cookies recipe, it is important not to over bake. Remove from oven when the cookies are set and the ends are just beginning to brown. It is okay if the middle of the cookie still looks a little shiny. They will continue to set on the pan as they cool.
