Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
- 1¼ cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2-4 tablespoons espresso powder or instant coffee
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brown the Butter: In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat, stirring until it begins to brown (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes in a heatproof bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and espresso powder to the browned butter. Mix until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks or chips.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and centers are soft. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase espresso powder up to 4 tablespoons.
- Use decaffeinated espresso powder or instant coffee for a caffeine-free version.
- You can replace butter with a dairy-free alternative or try a vegan option using flax eggs.
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
- Use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter, creamier cookie.
