Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you were to bake it right away, without chilling the dough, the cookie will bake into a flat pancake. Place the cookie dough in the fridge to harden, for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Add the chocolate chips and mix to incorporate. Whisk to combine.Īdd the egg and whisk again, until you’re left with a smooth, runny batter.Īdd the flour and baking powder and mix with a spoon or spatula until incorporated, or until there are no visible dry flour spots. ![]() ![]() Pour the butter in a large mixing bowl.Īdd in the instant espresso powder, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cocoa powder, heavy cream, vanilla extract, vinegar or lemon juice and baking soda. You’ll know the butter is ready once it reaches a golden amber color. Cook the butter, stirring occasionally, until it foams, and eventually browns, for 6 to 8 minutes. It’s absolutely delicious! This cookie paired with a cup of coffee or glass of milk is the ultimate sweet treat!Īdd the butter to a saucepan on medium heat. A light sprinkle of flaky salt at the end will complement the sweetness and richness of the cookies, so make sure you don’t skip on that. The overall flavor is rich, not too sweet, not too chocolatey, and packed with nutty, toasty caramel notes. The final cookie this recipe yields has crispy edges, and a soft, gooey center. Once again, a modest ingredient that’ll make a huge difference in the final dessert. A touch of espresso powder in cookie dough or brownie batter balances out the sweetness of the dessert and enhances the rich, chocolatey undertones. Espresso powder has a characteristic bitterness and depth I like to take advantage of when it comes to often overly sweet desserts like brownies and cookies. I usually have a jar of instant espresso or instant coffee somewhere in the back of my pantry. It’s such an easy upgrade that only takes you an extra 6 to 8 minutes. The milk solids in butter start to caramelize and develop a nutty, toasty, caramel-like flavor. To achieve this, bring the butter a little past its melting point. Using brown butter is one of the easiest ways to achieve a more complex and robust flavor in your baked goods. It has a similar flavor profile and texture to your favorite chocolate chip cookie, but the following elements take this dessert to the next level: brown butter and espresso powder. I like to describe it as an upgrade to your classic chocolate chip cookie. Mind you, you can keep the cookie dough in the fridge as well.This is one of my favorite cookie recipes I have ever developed. Cool down and use or keep in an airtight container in the fridge just like any other fat. Keep it on medium to high heat until it starts to look golden brown and it changes the aroma as well. Shortly after, the fat that remains will start to sizzle. In fact, I could say just making buerre noisette is an amazing activity in itself – the sizzling, the flavor, the color changing – it’s all so interesting! To make brown butter, first of all melt down the butter then let it boil down all the milk and liquid. It adds a nutty aroma to the cookies and that is something I always look for in products like these. The recipe calls for brown butter as a flavor enhancer and it works great with the espresso powder and dark chocolate. What I would recommend however is to stay away from milk or white because the cookies are quite sweet as they are due to having enough sugar so adding sweet chocolate will only rise the amount of sugar in the final cookie, making it very difficult to eat and enjoy. The chocolate I used has a 60% so it is quite intense, but feel free to play a bit with percentages to reach the exact taste you want. Actually, the espresso works on two levels: one – it adds a nice flavor to the cookies and second – it enhances the taste of chocolate. The flavor is so intense due to using espresso powder. ![]()
