# What You Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular all-purpose flour
07 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 - 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder

→ Add-ins

11 - 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
02 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until fully blended and smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder.
04 - Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
05 - Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
06 - Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to ensure optimal texture.
07 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion dough into 12 equal rounds and arrange them spaced apart.
08 - Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cookies are golden at the edges and set in the middle. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For a more pronounced coffee flavor, increase instant coffee powder to 3 tablespoons and ensure it is fully dissolved in the batter.
