Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules in a tablespoon of hot water. Stir this mixture into the cookie dough until fully incorporated.
- Fold in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Intense Dark Chocolate Mocha Latte Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture in your cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to keep your cookies tender and chewy.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Perfect Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies while they bake. They should be set at the edges but still soft in the middle—this is key for that gooey texture.
- Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer-lasting indulgence.
- Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy these cookies with a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee to complement their rich flavors perfectly!
