Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

Updating a classic cookie

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason. They are a delicious favorite cookie with just the right amount of chocolate. They are easy to make and are perfect for packing into lunch boxes or serving at a potluck.

I have yet to meet anyone that didn't love a chocolate chip cookie!

Even a classic can get an update from time to time. We aren't getting rid of the original, but offering more cookie options!

These Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious update to the classic! The espresso offers a subtle hint of coffee flavor. Just enough to say, "Mmmm!"

I've used my homemade espresso powder in these cookies, but you can always use store bought too!

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making chocolate chip cookies.
  • Espresso Powder - Make your own or buy at the store. This is not the same as instant coffee! May omit if desired.
  • Chocolate Chips - Semi-sweet chocolate chips, but dark chocolate chips would work too
  • Butter - I use salted butter
  • Sugar - Two types: granulated sugar and brown sugar
  • Flour - Use an all purpose flour. I prefer an unbleached flour, but any all purpose flour works.
  • Vanilla - Use pure vanilla extract

Step by step directions

  • Place butter in a mixing bowl and beat until soft and creamy
  • Add sugar and brown sugar and mix well until light and fluffy. Mix for about 3-4 minutes
  • Add eggs and vanilla and mix to combine
  • Add flour, espresso powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined

  • Stir in chocolate chips
  • Shape cookies into round balls with a cookie scoop or a spoon and place on an ungreased cookie sheet (or lined with parchment paper)

  • Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes until just golden
  • Remove from cookie sheet and place on a baking rack until fully cool

Recipe tips

  • Mix butter and sugar mixture together for 3-4 minutes. This makes a light, soft cookie
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of espresso powder. If you like it just a bit stronger, add the full 2 tablespoons
  • Bake cookies until golden
  • Allow cookies to fully cool on a baking rack before storing in an airtight container
  • Eat within 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months

Frequently asked questions

How long will espresso chocolate chip cookies last?

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, the cookies should last for 3-5 days.

    We recently made a batch of chocolate chip cookies with salted butter - woah! I loved seeing salted butter in this version. Add in that homemade espresso powder, and I'm nearly certain I'll be saying woah to this one, too! 🙂

    I love all things coffee and/or espresso. I'm so in! I'd hide these from everyone and eat them all myself. 😉 ~Valentina
