- • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- • 1 cup light brown sugar
- • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- • 1 large egg
- • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)
- 2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
- 3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.
- 4. Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.

Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.
