Delight in these chewy espresso chocolate chip cookies that combine the rich flavors of browned butter, espresso powder, and dark chocolate chunks for an indulgent treat with a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of coffee.

  • Total Time: 26 minutes (plus chilling time)
  • Yield: 16 cookies

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to foam and turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter with the dark brown sugar and white sugar. Beat until well combined. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla flavoring, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda until evenly distributed.
  4. Form Dough: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the dough just comes together. Fold in the roughly chopped dark chocolate chunks gently to avoid over mixing.
  5. Chill Dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to develop flavor and improve texture.
  6. Preheat and Prepare: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 minutes or until the edges are just golden and the centers appear puffed but still gooey.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack and serving.

Notes

  • Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty depth of flavor that enhances these cookies.
  • Chilling the dough helps control spreading and improves chewiness.
  • Do not over mix once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor contrast with the espresso.
  • Cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm for that gooey center appeal.
