Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 Tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for topping

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and instant espresso powder until combined.
  3. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls onto a lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt immediately upon removing from the oven.
  9. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough is highly recommended to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
