Ingredients:

For the Cookie Base:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Flavor Boosters:

• Espresso powder
• Cinnamon
• Sea salt flakes
• Chopped nuts
• No-bake Rolo cheesecake crumbles

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper, ensuring even spacing for perfect cookie formation.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your cookies.
3. Dissolve instant coffee granules in hot water, creating a concentrated coffee essence. This step is crucial for infusing deep coffee flavor into every cookie.
4. Add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and the dissolved coffee, ensuring complete incorporation.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. This dry mixture will provide the perfect structure for your cookies.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so stop as soon as the flour disappears.
7. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
8. Drop tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space the dollops about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully. The edges should just begin to turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes. This allows them to set and prevents breaking when transferred.
