When you are looking for a coffee cookies recipe, you want something that really says ‘coffee’ when you bite into it – am I right?

These espresso cookie have a robust coffee flavor, gooey chocolate, chocolate chips and pecans. We think they’re the best coffee cookie ever! We made them jumbo, bakery-style but you can certainly size them down to a smaller cookie.

Ingredients

Labelled ingredients on white marble born.
  • Semisweet chocolate chips – you could also substitute chocolate chunks for the chocolate chips that are added into the batter. 
  • Unsweetened baking chocolate
  • Unsalted butter
  • Instant coffee granules or instant espresso powder
  • Vanilla extract
  • All purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Eggs – use large eggs at room temperature. Take them out of the refigerator 30 to 60 minutes before starting the recipe.
  • Granulated sugar
  • Brown sugar – I use light brown sugar in this recipe, or you can substitute dark brown sugar as well. 
  • Chopped pecans – you could also substitute walnuts in this recipe. 
  • White chocolate chips – we like to press a few white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. It’s optional but looks nice and they’re so tasty!

Egg mixture in mixing bowl with wooden spoon.

Add coffee and vanilla mixture to the egg mixture, stirring just until combined.

Dry ingredients are added to chocolate mixture in bowl from stand mixture.

Next, stir in the chocolate mixture and mix well, then stir in flour mixture, just until combined.

Pecans added to chocolate mixer in bowl from stand mixer.

Stir in remaining (2 cups) chocolate chips and pecans,with a wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. If desired, set aside 1/4 cup of pecan to press into tops of cookies before baking.

For jumbo-sized cookies (4 to 5-inch), drop 1/3 cup batter onto parchment lined baking sheet, 4 cookies to a sheet. Space evenly, since the cookies will spread.

If desired, press a few pecans and white chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
Bake in 350°F preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Cookies will still be soft in the middle and edges will be set. 

Cookie cut in half on plate.

Cool on cookie sheet for five minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool. (You will need a large spatula for this task)!
