Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus extra for sprinkling on top of cookie dough before baking if you like sweet and salty.
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet (or dark chocolate)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup espresso freshly brewed, not instant or powdered
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (one stick)
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Brown the butter over medium heat, stirring consistently until browned.
- Turn off the heat and set the butter aside to cool to room temperature.
- Make the espresso (We used espresso beans, grinded it up into espresso powder, and used a moka pot to turn into liquid espresso- not powder)
- In a large mixing bowl combine the sugars, the egg yolks, the whole egg, the melter butter, and the vanilla extract.
- With an electric mixer, beat until pale golden color, and thick consistency.
- Mix the dry ingredient with the wet ingredients (adding the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ingredients)
- Add the espresso and continue mixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until everything is combined.
- Work the dough into a long disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to bake the cookies preheat the oven to 350° F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (if you have two cookie sheets, prep the both of them). Spray the baking sheet with baking spray.
- Cut the dough into 1 inch disks.
- Roll out the dough with your clean hands into walnut size pieces.
- Place balls 2 inches apart on parchment line paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Set your timer for 10 minutes and check the cookies (every oven is different and yours may be ready at 10 minutes).
- Cool completely and store in an airtight container. ENJOY!
