Updated on Apr 26, 2017

What better than pairing one of Mexico's finest imports--Kahlua--with white chocolate chips? And in a delicious cookie form, no doubt. This recipe produces a soft cookie, rich with a creamy texture and slight hint of coffee. TIP ON INSTANT COFFEE: It's best to use a quality brand of instant coffee (crystals or granules) that produces a cup of coffee that you thoroughly enjoy drinking. Bargain or generic brands of instant coffee tend to produce a bitter after-taste. And if you don't enjoy drinking the coffee it produces, then you're not likely to enjoy it in baked goods either.

How To Make kahlua white chocolate chip cookies

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Dissolve instant coffee in the cream; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the egg, Kahlua, vanilla and coffee/cream mixture, and mix with electric mixer until ingredients are well combined.
  • Step 3
    In a medium size bowl, stir together the sifted flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamy butter/sugar mixture, and mix just until well combined. Add the white chips and stir until well combined.
  • Step 4
    Using a cookie scoop (or a 2-tablespoon scoop), drop dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
