Recipe by: DeLallo

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (2 ½ sticks) cold salted butter, cut into ½ inch pieces
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (packed) light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons DeLallo Instant Espresso Coffee Powder
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend
  • Light brown sugar (for rolling)
  • Flaky sea salt

Directions

  • Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • On low speed, slowly add flour and espresso powder.
  • Add chocolate and stir to combine.
  • Divide dough in half and place each half on a large piece of plastic wrap. Using your hands, form dough into a log shape until smooth. Each half should form a log that is approximately 2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Brush the outside of logs with egg wash, then roll logs in brown sugar. Slice each log into ½ inch rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  • Sprinkle the rounds with sea salt and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Cool slightly and serve.

Note: Cookie dough can be made 1 week ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.
