Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon Hot water
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder in hot water and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and the prepared espresso mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 7
Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired disc shape. Press the dough directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until they are just set. Be careful not to over-bake, as they can dry out quickly.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an extra touch of indulgence.
Step 11
Allow the drizzled chocolate to set completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container.
