These Chewy Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are loaded with creamy and delicious chocolate chunks. Coffee lovers will appreciate the rich depth that makes these homemade cookies stand out from the usual chocolate chip variety. They're simple to make, and your kitchen will smell incredible as they bake!
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, coffee, and salt, then set the dry ingredients aside.
In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, cream the sugars, butter, and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy. Whisk in the egg and yolk, mixing until just combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined—be careful not to over-mix. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
Next, scoop dough with a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to form dough balls. Place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the cookie dough balls 2.5 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. While the first batch is baking, keep the remaining dough balls refrigerated.
If you want your cookies to be perfectly round and uniform in size, you can use a circular cookie cutter slightly larger than your cookies (or any circular hollow object like the top of a glass) and gently swirl the cookies around inside the cutter right after they come out of the oven and are still warm. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, or until they can be handled without breaking, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
