Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Notes
For a sweeter version, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon. Chilling the dough for 20 minutes before baking can enhance the flaky texture.
