Combine the flour, baking soda, and espresso powder and set aside
Cream the butter for ~2 minutes, add the sugar, and combine
Add the egg and vanilla and only beat long enough to combine, like 15-30 seconds
Add the dry ingredients, and again only beat long enough until everything is mixed
Hand mix in the chocolate chips
Form into smallish balls and bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes (picture was 15 minutes)
Notes
Don't let the name fool you; in small amounts, espresso powder doesn't add any coffee flavor to your baked goods. It merely makes chocolate tastes more intense and rich.
