With chewy edges and a soft center, this cookie is filled with melted chocolate chips and a hint of espresso, then finished with a sprinkle of sea salt. This sea salt mocha chocolate chip cookie for one is perfect for a single indulgence.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon room temperature butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons flour
¼ teaspoon espresso powder
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Sea salt for sprinkling
Directions:
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350F.
In a small mixing bowl, add room temperature butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the butter and sugar are well incorporated.
Blend in the flour and espresso powder. And then fold in the chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate.
Roll the dough into a ball and place it either on a parchment lined baking sheet or in a mini cast iron skillet. If the cookie dough looks too moist and won’t hold its shape, stick the cookie dough in the fridge for 5-10 minutes. This will make the cookie dough firm.
Sprinkle the top of the cookie with sea salt.
Bake the cookie in the oven for about 13-15 minutes until the cookie have turned lightly brown.
Remove the cookie from the oven and allow them to cool down for a few minutes before serving.
