Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter (1 stick), softened
1 c light brown sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsp granulated white sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp instant espresso coffee powder
1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter with sugars on medium speed until fluffy(about 30 seconds).
2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
3. Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and soda and salt and beat in to the butter mixture at low speed for about 20 seconds. Stir in espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
4. Using a cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle.
5. Bake for about 17-20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
