  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (browned)
  • 1/4 cup espresso powder (divided)
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it foams and turns amber. Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in 1/8 cup of espresso powder into the browned butter; let it sit for 10–15 minutes before straining out solids using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  4. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, remaining espresso powder, and salt.
  5. In another bowl, mix the strained butter with both sugars until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix thoroughly.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined, then gently mix in chocolate chips.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto prepared sheets with ample space between each scoop.
  8. Bake for about 13–16 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on the pan for five minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
