Key Ingredients in Coffeehouse Cookies

Brown butter: using brown butter creates a deep, nutty flavor. Make sure to give enough time for the brown butter to cool, or the cookies may not turn out as planned.

Espresso powder: this provides the rich coffee flavor and also works nicely to enhance the chocolate.  I used King Arthur brand for this recipe. If you’re worried about whether or not you’ll have more uses for the espresso powder, you can also use it in my Vanilla Latte Cookies!

Chopped Chocolate: I recommend using a good quality chocolate bar, such as Ghirardelli or Lindt.  Pro tip: reserve some chocolate pieces and place them on top of the cookies when they are hot out of the oven to get those gooey melty pools of chocolate on top!  You can also use chocolate chips if you don’t have baking chocolate on hand.

One simple tip

Freeze the dough: Okay, I admit that I’m one of those people who hates chilling dough before baking it, but I promise it’ll pay off with these! While the cookies will still be delicious if you bake them right away, I highly recommend freezing the dough for at least an hour to achieve the best chewy texture!

Storage instructions for Coffeehouse Cookies

These Coffeehouse Cookies can be kept in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. I always find that they are best enjoyed the day that they are baked!

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes, you can freeze the fully baked cookies. Allow to thaw to room temperature before enjoying. Please note, I always recommend enjoying the cookies when they are freshly baked for the best texture and flavor.

This cookie dough keeps incredibly well in the freezer. Store unbaked cookie dough balls in a freezer bag and simply bake them from frozen whenever the craving hits! Note that they may take a couple extra minutes of baking time in the oven.
