Calories: 147kcal
Equipment
- hand mixer optional
- stand mixer optional
- kitchen timer optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups chocolate covered espresso beans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375-degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cream the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (approximately 2 minutes). Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and blend until thoroughly combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Blend the flour mixture (half at a time) into the butter and egg mixture until just blended (scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed), but be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Add the chocolate chip and coffee beans to the batter and blend lightly to combine.
- Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to evenly drop the batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets (12 cookies per sheet) and bake in a preheated oven for 9 - 11 minutes rotating the cookie sheets halfway through baking.
- Cool the cookies completely on wire cooling racks before serving.
