How to make soft, chewy coffee cookies at home with instant coffee. Include the chocolate chips for a delicious mocha flavor that coffee addicts (and others) will love.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, completely combine the instant coffee granules and hot water. Set aside and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and cooled coffee mixture. Mix.
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the coffee cookie dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly pat the tops of the cookie dough balls with a clean hand to flatten them a little bit.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges just start to brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool, on the baking sheet, for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
