# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
02 - 1/3 cup white sugar
03 - 2/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1 3/4 cups gluten-free baking flour or standard 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 granules

→ Add-ins

11 - 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - Using a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the softened butter with white and brown sugars until fluffy and light, roughly 1 minute on medium setting.
02 - Drop in the egg and add vanilla extract. Mix until everything looks smooth and well combined.
03 - Take another bowl and mix your gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and instant coffee granules together.
04 - Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into your butter mixture, using low speed until you get a nice soft cookie dough.
05 - Stir in the chocolate chips by hand until they're spread throughout the dough evenly.
06 - Pop a cover on your bowl and stick the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to get the best texture.
07 - Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Put parchment paper on your baking sheet. Roll the dough into 12 equal balls and place them apart on the sheet.
08 - Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden and centers firm up. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before you dig in.
