My favourite chewy chocolate-espresso cookies, absolutely perfect to enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee or cappuccino.
Easy to make and absolutely delicious to enjoy them freshly baked. They freeze really well too, so perfect to have cookie dough in the freezer.
How do these chewy chocolate-espresso cookies taste like?
After lots of tests, I still think that the coffee flavour is really subtle. But it does add a bitter taste to balance the sweetness of the cookies. I think they are absolutely perfect to dip them in a nice coffee or cappuccino.
Can I freezer them?
Yes, of course.
You can form the balls and store them in the freezer for up to 4 months. Then whenever you feel like you want a cookie, place them directly in the oven. 180°C for 12-13 minutes.
