    Ingredient Notes

    Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

    • Unsalted butter- The butter is melted and cooled to room temperature before using.
    • Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar.
    • Eggs- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking.
    • Instant coffee powder- Use a high quality instant coffee. It gets grounded into a powder. You can also use instant espresso.
    • Chocolate chips- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. I don't recommend milk chocolate chips because it will be too sweet.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Here is how to make and bake these coffee cookie recipe. You don't need an electric mixer for this recipe. You do need two bowls, whisk, and a rubber spatula!

    The actual recipe is below in the recipe card.

    STEP 1: Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

    Using a blender or food processor, blend the instant coffee into a powder and add it to the dry ingredients.

    STEP 2: Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter (make sure it is cooled!), brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Use a whisk to mix it together.

    STEP 3: Add the flour mixture. Next, add the dry ingredients to the bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix it in. Then, add in the chocolate chips.

    Let the batter rest while you preheat the oven.

    STEP 4: Scoop. Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Place 6 cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

    To make your cookies look like mine, top with extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls!

    STEP 5: Bake. Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the middle is still slightly underdone.

    Cool the cookies on a cooling rack.

    Expert Baking Tips

    • Flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup directly into the flour, it will compact the flour. Compacted flour can cause the cookies to not spread.
    • If the cookies are spreading, make sure you are using parchment paper on the cookie sheet. If they are still spreading too much this could be the butter was too warm before adding the ingredients. If it still spreads too much, you chill the cookie dough balls for 10-15 minutes.
    • If you live at high altitude, add an extra 1-2 Tablespoons of flour. This will help with the spread.
    • The cookies should be slightly underdone, because they will continue to cook as they cool. This helps to make sure they have chewy centers.

    FAQ

    Can I make these into smaller cookies?

    Yes you can. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 12 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet. Bake for 8-11 minutes.

    Can these cookie dough balls be frozen?

    Yes they can! Store the cookie dough balls in an airtight container or use plastic wrap. Store in the freezer for 30 days. Let the cookie dough balls thaw before baking.

    Can I chill the cookie dough overnight?

    Yes you can. However, I recommend making them into cookie dough balls first before chilling overnight. Make sure they come to room temperature before baking.

    Storing and Freezing

    Store these coffee cookies in an airtight container up to 5 days at room temperature.

    Freezing

    Freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container and freeze up to 30 days. Thaw for 1-2 hours before eating.
