Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then add the espresso powder and mix thoroughly.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet and optional white chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  7. Drop rounded mounds of dough onto your baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
