-          1 teaspoon baking powder

-          1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-          1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

-          1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

1.       Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350° F.

2.       In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and mix on low-medium speed until smooth. About 2 minutes.

3.       Add in the whole egg and then the yolk, and mix again.

4.       Add in the 2- 3 tsp ground coffee, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tsp brewed coffee, and mix on low to combine. About 30 seconds.

5.       Turn the mixer off and add in the 2.5 cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt. Turn the mixer on low moving up to medium speed as the dry ingredients incorporate into the wet.

6.       When an evenly mixed dough forms, stop the mixer and stir in the chocolate chunks in by hand so as not to break them up. Chill the dough for 20 minutes.

7.       Using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop or a large spoon, scoop out evenly sized balls and bake 6 at a time on a baking sheet.

8.       Bake for 15-17 minutes on the lower rack in your oven. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown.
