Coffeehouse Cookies

Get ready: baking these cookies will fill your home with the aroma of a coffeehouse!  These flavorful cookies are made with brown butter, espresso powder, white chocolate and dark chocolate. They have a decadent, chewy center with crisp outer edges.  If you love coffee and chocolate, you’ll love these coffeehouse cookies!

These cookies are packed with so much goodness, you’ll love them a latte! 

Key Ingredients

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.

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 Last Thing

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!
