Cappuccino Cookies

Cappuccino Cookies 2

These delectable little cookies are the perfect addition to your afternoon cup of coffee! I call them Cappuccino Cookies because they have a slight coffee taste from the coffee extract but a milky taste from the white chocolate chips. You can even forget the cup of coffee and have these with a tall cold glass of milk as your evening dessert. These cookies are so perfect, the flavors mesh together so well! I have a couple of secret ingredients in there that are not so secret anymore, but they make these cookies extra special. If you’re looking for coffee extract I bought mine at Sur La Table. Please, please make these! They’re like nothing you’ve ever tried before!

Yields 16 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coffee extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Once butter is melted, turn heat to medium and let the butter continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until foamy and color turns to a rich deep golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl mix your brown sugar and white sugar. Once butter is cooled add to sugar and mix with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Add egg, vanilla extract, and coffee extract and continue to mix.
  5. Slowly add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until it comes together. Add in your white and chocolate chips and fold in gently.
  6. Sift your powdered sugar into a bowl.
  7. Make 16 balls out of your dough. Take each ball and roll it into the powdered sugar. Place on parchment lined baking sheet (8 per tray). Place in oven and bake for 13 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool down on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool.
  9. Store in airtight container.

Note: I baked mine in two stages because two trays didn’t fit in my oven. If you have rimless baking sheets those will fit!
