Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes ~10

Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
8.7 oz flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp instant espresso coffee powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 F.

  2. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds).

  3. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.

  4. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds.

  5. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.

  6. Using a 1/4 cup scoop, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3" apart.

  7. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2" circle.

  8. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
