Coffee and White Chocolate Cookies
Rich, buttery Coffee and White Chocolate Cookies packed with bold espresso flavor and sweet white chocolate chunks.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour for structure
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder because coffee is life
- ½ tsp baking soda for a little lift
- ¼ tsp salt balances sweetness
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened (because butter makes everything better)
- ½ cup brown sugar for chewiness
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for crisp edges
- 1 large egg binding magic
- 1 tsp vanilla extract flavor booster
- ½ cup white chocolate chips sweet contrast
- ¼ cup finely chopped white chocolate extra indulgence
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. No one likes a sticky mess.
- Whisk together flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Keep it smooth.
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. No lumps allowed.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. No shortcuts.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Overmixing leads to sad cookies.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped white chocolate. More is always better.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. No cookie collisions.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers look slightly soft. Trust the process.
- Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Or just eat them now.
- Pair with coffee, milk, or straight from the tray. No wrong choices.

Pro Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Use espresso powder instead of brewed coffee for a stronger kick.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Double the batch. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
