Description

Vietnamese coffee white chocolate chip cookies with brewed cà phê baked into the dough and an optional condensed milk drizzle. Chewy, coffee-forward, and taste like Vietnamese iced coffee in cookie form. Easy one-bowl recipe, no mixer needed.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (270 g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup (145 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) brewed Vietnamese coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk, optional for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. Whisk together the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the butter, both sugars, salt, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the cooled coffee.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough (about 55 grams each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centres still look soft and slightly underdone.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, drizzle with condensed milk.

Notes

  • Brew your coffee strong. Instant Vietnamese coffee works great, or use a phin filter if you have one. Let it cool completely before adding it to the dough.
  • These cookies will look slightly underbaked when you pull them out. That’s exactly what you want. They’ll firm up as they cool but stay chewy in the middle.
