- Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar.
- Eggs- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking.

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.

So good! I did not use cinnamon. I used mini chips. The dough refrigerates well. While I made this batch, I also assembled a kit for the next batch.

Unsurprisingly, another stellar cookie recipe! Super easy to throw together and very delicious. The coffee flavor really comes out after the cookies have fully cooled. I used a 3 Tbsp cookie scoop and got 20 cookies. I also used instant espresso powder and had great results. I found that my first unrefrigerated batch didn't turn out quite as well as the ones that rested in the fridge while I baked, so I'd recommend throwing them in the fridge for just a bit before baking! The first batch just spread a bit thinner and got crispier than I'd prefer.
