Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup gluten free all-purpose baking flour (can substitute with regular flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Butter and Sugars: Add the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Cream Together: Beat the butter and sugars together for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Spoon and level the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder into the wet mixture, then add to the bowl.
  5. Mix: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips carefully.
  6. Chill Dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up, which helps prevent spreading during baking.
  7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  8. Scoop Dough: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring space between each scoop for spreading.
  9. Add More Chocolate Chips: Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie portion for added chocolatey appeal.
  10. Bake: Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The cookies will firm up more as they cool.
  11. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant coffee powder to 3 tablespoons.
  • You can substitute regular all-purpose flour if gluten-free flours are unavailable.
  • Using room temperature butter helps achieve a creamy texture when creaming with sugars.
  • Chilling the dough is important to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Pressing extra chocolate chips on top after scooping makes the cookies look more appealing and chocolatey.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days for freshness.
