Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until completely incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee granules until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked for maximum gooeyness.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For extra moisture, store the cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to help maintain their soft texture.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Coffee Intensity: Adjust the instant coffee granules to your taste preference - use less for a subtle hint or more for a stronger coffee flavor.
- Gooey Secret: The key to ultra-moist cookies is slightly underbaking them. Remove from the oven when edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone.
- Storage Hack: The bread slice trick is genius - it helps maintain moisture and keeps your cookies soft for days.
- Chocolate Choice: Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. A mix of milk and dark chocolate can add depth to the taste.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which ensures even baking.
