Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the cooled coffee and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently to avoid overmixing.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
