Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (substitute with gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for marble effect)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened; can be replaced with vegan margarine for dairy-free option)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (reduce for lower sugar intake if desired)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins & Spices

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or white chocolate chips optional)
  • Spices such as cinnamon or cardamom (optional, for warm twist)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. This step aerates the dough for a tender texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Add the two large eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and blend on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, instant coffee powder, and cocoa powder. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring on low speed just until combined to avoid overmixing, which could toughen the cookies.
  6. Divide Dough for Marble Effect: Split the dough into two halves. Mix additional cocoa powder into one half to enhance the chocolate color and flavor. On the prepared baking sheets, create a marble effect by alternating dollops of the plain and cocoa-infused dough.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown, but the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely for optimal texture.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend.
  • Use vegan margarine in place of butter for a dairy-free and vegan-friendly cookie.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to your preference for a sweeter or less sweet cookie.
  • Enhance flavor by adding cinnamon or cardamom into the dry ingredients.
  • Experiment with different types of coffee powder to vary the depth of coffee flavor.
  • Adding chocolate chips gives extra bursts of chocolate and texture variation.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough to maintain tender, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
