Triple Chip Coffee Cookies
These are for those who love coffee and cookies! It’s a chocolate chip cookie with a boost! Brown sugar notes with three different kinds of chocolate and a touch of expresso! I took my normal gluten free chocolate chip cookie and twisted it to be what I wanted. It’s an adult take on a kid’s classic!
I brown the butter in these, but melted butter would be just fine too. The brown butter give nutty, toffee notes to the dough.
If you want a more intense coffee flavor, add another teaspoon of expresso powder! As it’s written, it gives a very subtle coffee flavor.
For the chocolate, I like to break up Hershey bars for the milk chocolate. It makes it extra creamy chocolate chunks. And I enjoy the big dark chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chunks! So good!
Don’t leave out the rest time. Gluten free flour takes longer to absorb moisture than regular wheat flour does. The rest time allows for all the moisture to absorb.
As always, these are great with our raw milk, but a cup of good coffee also fits well with these cookies!
Triple Chip Coffee Cookies
Ingredients:
8 tablespoons butter melted (browned if desired), cooled
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons instant expresso powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup gluten free flour blend
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips or a bar broken up
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugars, egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix in the expresso powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined. Mix in the flour until dough forms and the flour is all combined into the dough. Stir in all the chocolate. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes or more.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. When it’s done resting, scoop about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons worth of dough onto the cookie sheet spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the dough is just barely starting to brown.
Let the cookies rest on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack. Enjoy with a glass or raw milk or a cup of joe!
