Ingredients

- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to keep them intact.
