Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, instant coffee powder, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Keep one half plain and mix the cocoa portion more deeply into the other half if desired.
- Drop alternating spoonfuls of each dough onto the baking sheets to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft. Cool before serving.
Notes
Chill dough for 15–20 minutes if it becomes too sticky.
Add chocolate chips to the cocoa dough for extra richness.
Adjust instant coffee amount for stronger flavor.
Bake slightly longer for crisp edges.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature.
Warm briefly in the microwave to refresh texture.
