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)
  • Optional spices: cinnamon or cardamom (to taste)

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

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or white chocolate chips can be used)

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, which should take about 3 minutes. This helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the two large eggs into the creamed mixture, mixing on medium speed until smooth and well combined, which will help bind the ingredients.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, instant coffee powder, and cocoa powder. If using optional spices like cinnamon or cardamom, add them here for a warm twist.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make cookies tough.
  6. Create Marble Dough: Divide the dough into two halves. Mix the cocoa powder into one half if not already done separately. For the marble effect, alternate dollops of each dough on the prepared baking sheets to swirl flavors during baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft, ensuring a chewy and tender cookie.
  8. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, which helps them set up and prevents breakage.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • To make a dairy-free version, use vegan margarine instead of unsalted butter.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity to your preference if you want a less sweet cookie.
  • Experiment with different types of instant coffee powder for varied flavor intensity.
  • Adding cinnamon or cardamom spices can provide a warm and unique flavor twist.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a richer taste or white chocolate chips for a sweeter contrast.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to maintain a tender texture.
