Chewy Coffee Cookies
Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Adjust the rack to the middle position. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
2
|
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, table salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Set aside.
3
|
In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of white sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee until thoroughly mixed.

|
Add the flour mixture in two batches just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing or you will end up with tough cookies. At this point, you can cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or up to two days to let the flavor and color develop. This is totally optional!

|
Roll the dough into 1 1/2-2 Tablespoon balls.*** Roll each dough ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of white sugar. Place 6 balls on each sheet pan, leaving 3-4 inches between each ball (they will spread out quite a bit).
6
|
Bake the cookies for about 7 minutes, until the cookies are puffy in the center. Using oven mitts, grip the sides of the sheet pan and give the sheet pan a few firm taps against the oven rack until the edges are wrinkly and the centers of the cookies fall and flatten. Flip the pan and bake the cookies for another 1-2 minutes, until the cookies are spread out, the edges are golden brown, and the centers are just slightly underdone****. Remove the cookies from the oven, and give them another tap against a counter or another firm surface until the edges are wrinkled the centers are flat and crinkled.

Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pan for about 5-10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Precise Coffee Extraction 🍵Use freshly ground coffee beans and steep them briefly to extract maximum flavor without bitterness when incorporating into the cookie dough.
- Moisture Magic 💧Add a tablespoon of brewed coffee or espresso to the wet ingredients to intensify the coffee flavor and ensure extra chewiness in the cookies.
- Spice Layering Technique 🌶️Toast the cardamom and cinnamon lightly before mixing to release their essential oils and create a more complex, deep flavor profile.
- Chilling Strategy 🧊Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a perfectly chewy texture.
- Texture Control 🍪Remove cookies from the oven when edges are just set but centers still look slightly underbaked to guarantee that signature chewy consistency.
