For the Cookies

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Dissolve coffee granules in hot water, then add to the butter mixture and stir until blended.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in any optional chocolate chips or chopped nuts using a spatula.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them around 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
