These light and crispy espresso chocolate chip cookies are heavy on the coffee flavor that works wonderful flavors with the chocolate! The perfect cookie sidekick to your coffee.
And all the stars aligned. ?? Is there a better combo in the entire WORLD than chocolate chip cookies and coffee?
I’m no milk and cookie kinda girl. It’s gotta be coffee or I might as well just not have the cookie.
And HEY! Now we can have a double whammy of coffee! In both our chocolate chip cookies and our actual salted caramel latte. (my go-to college coffee shop makes ’em to.die.for.)
And we’re about to make some to die for espresso chocolate chip cookies. All da chocolate + all that CRISPINESS + actual espresso grounds. Oh man, yes.
It’s basic cookie stuff going down here today, guys. Nothing super fancy, just butter, sugar, etc. And TWO tablespoons finely-ground espresso beans. And all the chocolate and maybe some pecans if you like a little nut in your cookie. ??
They’re crispy on the outside and supa’ chewy on the inside and a freaking DREAM with more coffee on the side!
I promise I won’t judge if you have like 5 in one sitting.
We all been there done that.
