Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the warm water. Set aside.
- Add the flour, baking cocoa, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine.
- Place the softened butter and sugars into large mixing bowl. Mix, using hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until well-blended and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg, molasses, vanilla, instant coffee mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Reduce the mixer to low, slowly add the flour mixture, and continue mixing. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed, and continue until thoroughly combined.
- Stop the mixer, and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Scoop tablespoon sized dough onto baking sheet, placing 2 inches apart.
- Smoosh them down a tiny bit so you have a flat surface and sprinkle each cookie lightly with sea salt.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated oven until edges are just browned. The center will still appear uncooked. Cool slightly, remove from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack. Makes about 36 cookies.
