Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 stick unsalted butter Provides fat and moisture; substitute with salted butter if needed.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Adds richness; coconut sugar can replace it.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can be swapped with a sugar alternative.
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder Intensifies flavor; instant coffee is a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth; can be omitted.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Gluten-free flour works as a substitute.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Key leavening agent; check for freshness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Key leavening agent; check for freshness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool for 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled brown butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, espresso powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  7. Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft; they will continue to firm as they cool.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
