Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 1 large Egg Room temperature
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Instant Coffee Granules Dissolve in hot water for deeper flavor
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low just until combined.
- Dissolve the instant coffee granules in about 1 tablespoon of hot water, then fold into the cookie dough.
- In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Scoop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press a small indent into the center of each dough ball, then spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into the indent.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
