16 servings

  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
  • Stir espresso powder and coffee together in a small bowl until espresso powder is completely dissolved.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Beat butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer together until light and fluffy in a bowl. Beat in espresso mixture, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in flour mixture; mix until a dough just begins to form. Press dough firmly and evenly into the prepared pan using lightly floured hands.
  • Whisk 1 tablespoon white sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until the dough in the center of the pan feels barely set, 20 to 23 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the overhanging parchment to lift cookies out to a wire rack; cool completely before cutting into bars.
