☕️ Ingredient notes

This double chocolate chip coffee cookies recipe calls for simple ingredients you can find in any grocery store. And you probably already have these pantry ingredients at home!

• All-purpose flour - Classic AP flour is the best option for these delicious cookies. I have not tested this recipe using any other type of flour. If you do experiment with almond flour, whole wheat flour, gluten free flour, or other type of flour, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post and let us know what you used and how it turned out!
• Cocoa powder - This adds a rich chocolate flavor.
• Sugars - Use both light brown sugar (also known as golden brown sugar) and granulated sugar (fine white sugar). I recommend not using dark brown sugar, as it will overpower these cookies.
• Instant coffee + water - You can use your favorite instant coffee granules dissolved in water to add that rich espresso flavor. If you prefer a light coffee flavor, use just a little less than what the recipe calls for.
• Butter - Use unsalted butter softened at room temperature.
• Egg - Take your eggs out about 20 minutes before you start making this recipe so they are at room temperature by the time you mix them in.
• Vanilla - Use pure vanilla extract to add that classic bakery aroma and flavor.
• Salt - Kosher salt helps balance the sweetness of these coffee cookies.
• Chocolate chips - A combination of semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips adds another layer of depth of flavor. You could use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet if you prefer. Or, for a stronger coffee cookies flavor, use espresso chips!

Kitchen equipment & tools

Ready to make these delicious coffee cookies? Here are the tools you'll need to make start baking:

• Mixing bowl- You will need at least one mixing bowl for the dry ingredients.
• Whisk - Use a sturdy whisk to mix together the dry ingredients.
• Stand Mixer - You'll need a stand mixer to beat together the wet ingredients and to mix the final batter. If you do not have a stand mixer you can use another large mixing bowl and a hand mixer (electric mixer).
• Spatula - Use a silicone spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips. It also helps to have this kind of spatula to scrap the sides of the bowl as you mix, and to scrape all of the dough out of the mixing bowl.
• Cookie scoop - A medium cookie scoop helps you bake up cookies that are similar in size and shape, which helps them bake evenly in the oven. You can also use a kitchen scale to weigh the cookie balls out to the same weight.
