Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Cookies
Chewy Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Cookies packed with oats, dark chocolate, and a caffeine boost.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour holds everything together
- 1 cup rolled oats adds chewiness
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder rich chocolate flavor
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder for that coffee kick
- ½ tsp baking soda helps with texture
- ¼ tsp salt balances the sweetness
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (because butter makes everything better)
- ½ cup brown sugar chewy perfection
- ¼ cup granulated sugar crisp edges
- 1 large egg binding magic
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for extra depth
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks melty goodness
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. This prevents regretful sticking.
- Whisk flour, oats, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. No lumps, no problems.
- Beat melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. If you taste-test, we won’t judge.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The dough should already smell amazing.
- Slowly combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients. Stir just until blended—overmixing ruins lives.
- Fold in chocolate chunks. This is where things get exciting.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. No cookie collisions.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft. Trust the process.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Or eat immediately—no judgment.
- Pair with coffee, milk, or straight from your hands.
