Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Cup (cup) brown sugar, packed
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1.75 Cups (cup) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) instant espresso coffee powder
• 1.5 Cups (cup) semisweet chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and the mixture is light and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso coffee powder. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and espresso.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender cookies. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1.5 to 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. For a crispier texture, bake for an additional 2 minutes.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and develop their chewy texture.
