These espresso chocolate chip cookies are made with a soft and chewy espresso-vanilla dough, melty chocolate chips and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. Basically…heaven.
In all my years of baking, I don’t know if I’ve ever received a more enthusiastic response to a new cookie recipe. My friends and family are absolutely obsessed with these espresso chocolate chip cookies lately! ♡
We made our first batch a few weeks ago as an experimental riff on my tried-and-true classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, swapping in some espresso powder in place of the usual flour. And while an initial taste test of the dough had me a bit nervous that we had overdone it with the extra coffee flavor, the cookies themselves ended up baking to perfectly-balanced mocha perfection.
There’s just the right amount of espresso here to announce that these are decidedly coffee-flavored cookies, without being too subtle or too overblown. And the espresso — as coffee flavor is always faithful to do — brought out an even richer depth of flavor in the semisweet chocolate chips and paired beautifully with the buttery-vanilla flavor of the dough as well. I made sure that the texture of the dough remained perfectly soft and chewy, just the way I like it. And the finishing pinch of flaky sea salt adds the perfect salty crunch to each bite.
My husband has proclaimed these my “cookie of the year” and suggests that we make another batch as often as possible. Friends have made requests for the recipe and polished off plates of these cookies in record time. And I’ve already had to restock my jar of espresso powder to keep up with demand, lol. ♡ So suffice it to say, I think this recipe is a keeper.
Let’s make some espresso cookies together!
