Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
