– 2¼ cups all-purpose flour – 1 tsp baking soda – 1 tsp salt – 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened – ¾ cup granulated sugar – ¾ cup packed brown sugar – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 2 large egg – 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chip – 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) – Secret ingredient: 1 tsp instant coffee granule
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well and set aside for later use in the recipe.
In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add instant coffee granules to the mixture.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The batter will become smooth and fluffy as the coffee flavor blends in.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl to make sure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Stir in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using). The dough will be thick and filled with delicious chunks.
