Chewy Coffee Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter

  softened to room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp instant coffee powder
• 320 grams all-purpose flour

  (2 ½ cups)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ⅛ tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Cream together the butter and sugars. (You can do this in a large bowl with a
  hand mixer OR in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.) Scrape down the bowl
  as needed until everything is evenly incorporated.
• 2 In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee
  powder until smooth. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and continue beating until
  thoroughly combined and smooth.
• 3 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the
  flour mixture to the wet ingredients a bit at a time – I do this in three parts
  – mixing by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until no more dry flour
  remains. The dough should feel like a slightly dry Play-Doh. Chill the dough in
  the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• 4 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop cookies onto an unlined baking sheet or cookie
  sheet with a cookie scoop, leaving 1-2 inches between the cookies. Use the
  rounded side of the cookie scoop, your hand, or a fork to lightly press down the
  center of each cookie.
• 5 Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the
  baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
• 6 Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
