Mocha Chocolate Espresso Chip Cookies

What You Need:

1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1 large egg

4 tablespoons instant coffee granules*

1 tablespoon hot water

1 cup chocolate chips, and some extra for topping

What You Do:

Preheat the oven to 350F, and line a baking tray with parchment paper, or a silicone mat. Set aside.

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules. Set aside.

Whisk together the butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg, and mix until combined.

Dissolve the remaining 2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water, then add to the wet ingredients, and mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Roll the dough into 1.5oz balls, about 17 balls, place on the prepared baking tray, and press the extra chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Do not over-bake. Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Use a coffee you absolutely love to drink! The taste is everything in this recipe. If you'd like a weaker coffee taste, skip the 2 tablespoons of coffee in the dry ingredients. OR just add 2 Tablespoons of brewed coffee/espresso to the wet mixture and leave out all instant coffee.
