Pro Tips
✅ Dissolve the coffee – If your instant coffee doesn’t blend smoothly, dissolve it in a tablespoon of hot water before adding it to the batter.
✅ Chill the dough – For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
✅ Don’t overmix – Mix until just combined to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
✅ Save some chocolate & toffee – Press a few extra chocolate chips and toffee bits on top before baking for bakery-style cookies.
Substitutions & Variations
- No instant coffee? Use finely ground espresso beans for a stronger coffee kick.
- Prefer milk chocolate? Swap the semi-sweet chocolate for milk chocolate chips.
- Nutty twist? Add ½ cup chopped pecans or almonds for extra crunch.
- Gluten-free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour substitute.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Chill the dough: You can refrigerate the cookie dough for up to 3 days before baking.
- Freeze for later: Scoop dough balls onto a baking sheet, freeze, then store in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen—just add 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
