Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven & Prepare Cookie Sheets
   Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your cookie sheets by greasing them lightly or spraying with non-stick baking spray. If you prefer, you can also use parchment paper for easier cleanup.

2. Cream Butter & Sugar
   Using an electric mixer, combine the softened unsalted butter with both the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. This step helps incorporate air into the dough, giving the cookies a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

3. Mix in Wet Ingredients
   Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and continue mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract for a subtle, aromatic flavor.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee (if using). The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but it’s optional for those who prefer a more classic taste. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

5. Stir in the Chocolate Chips
   Once the dough is well mixed, fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough so that every bite is packed with gooey, melty chocolate.

6. Form the Cookies
   Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form dough balls about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared cookie sheets, ensuring they are spaced widely apart to allow for spreading while baking.

7. Bake the Cookies
   Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-baking, as the cookies continue to firm up as they cool.

8. Cool & Serve
   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from breaking apart.

9. Enjoy
   Once cooled, these delicious chocolate chip cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Share them with family and friends, or keep them all for yourself—you won’t be able to resist!

Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies:

• Butter Temperature: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaming results.
• Chill the Dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent excessive spreading.
• Customize the Chips: Feel free to use a mix of chocolate chips (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate) for different flavor profiles.

These cookies are sure to become a family favorite, and with a few tweaks, they’ll become even better than the classic Nestle Toll House version!
