Prep Time25 minutes
Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time33 minutes
Servings: 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coffee extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and coffee extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined and light in color, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Sift or add the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients; stir until just combined without overmixing.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the hot baking sheet for 5–10 minutes to finish baking, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
