Best 8 Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

CHEWY ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter begins to foam and turns a golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma. Take butter off the heat and allow to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat until mixed together. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• In separate bowl mix together the flour, espresso powder, salt and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until everything comes together. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Do not over mix.
• Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least a half hour, or overnight.
• When you are ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough out into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the centers have puffed up but are still gooey.
• Allow to cool before eating!

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• To a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, add the butter. When the butter has melted, turn off the heat. Stir in the espresso and mix until it's covered in the butter. Cover the saucepan and allow to steep for 20 minutes. When it's done, pour it through a fine mesh strainer, into a large bowl OR the bowl of a stand-up mixer.
• Discard the used up espresso grounds. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, whisk the flour, espresso grounds, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
• Grab the large bowl OR the bowl of a stand-up mixer (using the paddle attachment) with the melted/espresso butter in it. To that bowl, add the brown sugar and white sugar. Beat together until nice and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Pour in the vanilla extract and beat once more.
• In one batch, add the flour. You will probably have to lift up the head part of your mixer to be able to add it all at once. Cover the mixer with a clean kitchen towel and turn it on low speed. Mix until the flour is mostly combined and then increase speed until you no longer see any flecks of flour. Pour in the chocolate chunks and mix one last time. Transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for an hour or up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out balls of dough. If it's super chilled, you may need to push some dough into the scoop so it's nice and compact and then release the lever. I like to add all the balls of cookie dough to a sheet of parchment versus scooping dough, as I bake.
• Transfer 6 to 7 balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a part because these do spread. Place in the oven and bake for about 7 to 8 minutes. If the dough is super cold, it may need up to 10 minutes to bake. They should be light to medium golden brown. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt upon exiting the oven. Repeat until you've baked all the cookies.
• To freeze, add the cookie dough balls to a baking sheet and stick in the freezer until very cold, about 20 minutes and then transfer to a freezer-safe plastic bag.

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Grind the espresso beans to a fine powder.
• Combine flour, cocoa, ground espresso beans, baking soda and salt.
• In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy (~5 min).
• Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well at medium speed for 2 minute.
• Slowly add the flour/cocoa to the creamed mixture over 12 minutes. If the powder escapes the mixer, you are adding it too quickly!
• Stir in chocolate chips at slow speed to give the final cookie dough.
• Using a leveled ice cream scoop, drop measures onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Leave the space of a drop between each new one. Bake for 9 minutes. The cookies will rise and still be soft when removed from the oven.
• Cool for 5 minute on the sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

• In a mixer with a whip attachment, mix the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and ground espresso, then add the chocolate mixture. Mix in the dry ingredients and the remaining 1 1/2 cups chips. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set up.
• Scoop onto parchment lined sheet pans with a medium ice cream scoop then freeze. Bake from frozen in a preheated 375 degree F for 7 minutes. You can par-bake them for 5 minutes then bake an additional 2 minutes at the time you serve them so they're warm.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using a spoon or 1-ounce ice cream scoop, roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each ball with a pinch of flaky salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Melt 2 cups of the chocolate chips, the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
• In the large bowl of a stand mixer on high speed, beat the eggs, sugar, ground coffee and vanilla extract until thick ribbons form and the mixture has doubled in volume. By hand, stir in the melted chocolate mixture until thoroughly combined, then add the dry ingredients, chopped walnuts and the remaining chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Have ready some large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. (If you have a convection oven, use that setting.).
• Make golf ball-size scoops of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, in batches, 10 to 12 minutes; the tops will crack, but the cookies should be gooey inside. Cool on the baking sheets at least 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
