Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon of instant coffee with 2 tablespoons of hot water until dissolved and set aside to cool.
  3. Cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the large egg and cooled coffee mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold in 5 crushed Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop out the dough with a 1/4 cup scoop, roll into balls, then roll in additional crushed Oreos to coat.
  8. Bake for 12-13 minutes, then cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for easier shaping and prevent excessive spreading during baking. Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for ideal texture. Measure flour carefully to avoid dry cookies.
