Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American
Keyword: cookies, pastry
Servings: 8 cookies

Ingredients

  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 75 g granulated sugar
  • 150 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 150 g bread flour
  • Chocolate Chips/Chunks
  • Flakey salt

Instructions

  • Brown butter in a pan on medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and dissolve in instant coffee. Set aside and let cool.
  • Add granulated and brown sugar to the butter mixture followed by egg and vanilla extract. Cream together until smooth and glossy.
  • Combine salt, baking soda, flour and chopped chocolates and evenly fold into the butter mixture.
  • Form balls with the cookie dough and place them on a parchment or plastic-lined tray. Cover loosely and let rest in the fridge at least overnight or up to 3 days. The longer you refrigerate the less spread you'll get in the cookie when you bake it.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Transfer the cookie dough to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 18 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool.
