So these may be one of the best cookies I’ve made till date.
Chocolate + coffee = happiness. And what better way to enjoy happiness than in cookie form?
So here’s another cookie recipe for all you coffee lovers! I made some slight adjustments to my beloved Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Tasty (which I use as the base of all my chocolate chip cookie recipes) and gave it a little kick of espresso. These cookies are seriously so good – and even better if you have a little patience. 😉 Yes, I let this dough sit overnight in the fridge — totally optional but SO worth it. I love doing this because it makes the dough easier to manage when rolling them out and the sugars, butter and espresso really get to mingle during this time. This is how I achieve the toffee flavor!
Let’s just get into it – recipe below!
