  • Total Time: 53 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour (can substitute 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 sugar: Add the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to a bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Cream together: Cream the butter and sugars together for 1 minute until fluffy and well combined.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla bean paste until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Spoon and level the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder into the wet mixture.
  5. Mix and fold in chocolate chips: Mix just until incorporated, then gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
  6. Chill dough: Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up, which helps prevent spreading during baking.
  7. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.
  8. Scoop dough: Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
  9. Add extra chocolate chips: Press a few additional chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie for an attractive finish and extra chocolatey bites.
  10. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 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 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve and enjoy your coffee-infused chocolate chip cookies!

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to aid proper creaming with sugars.
  • Chilling the dough is important to maintain the cookie shape and texture during baking.
  • You can substitute regular all-purpose flour if gluten-free flour is unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of instant coffee powder according to your taste preferences for a milder or stronger coffee flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
