For coffee lovers everywhere, these coffee cookies are perfectly moist, chewy, and packed with coffee flavor. They're easy to make and customize! You can add chocolate chips or leave them as-is. Either way, they disappear quickly!

Equipment

Stand Mixer with the Paddle Attachment or a hand mixer

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter (4 ounces/8 tablespoons) room temperature
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1½ tablespoons instant coffee or espresso I used Cafe Bustelo
1 large egg
1⅓ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, see note
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee to the butter mixture. Beat until combined.
Let the cookie dough sit for 10 minutes and beat one more time for 15 seconds or so. This incorporates the coffee into the dough!
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 8 cookies onto the prepared sheet pan. Give the cookies space to spread.
Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the middles still look slightly underdone.
Let the cookies set up on the sheet pan for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. Enjoy!

Notes

To measure the flour, use the spoon and level method. Only do this when a recipe specifies to do it. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with the flat edge of a butter knife or spatula.
