If you like chocolate, these are unbelievable. Espresso or Mocha Cookies Preheat oven to 350 degrees 1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick) 1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips 1 Tbl Instant espresso crystals (I got it at an Italian market It's called " Medaglia D'oro " and it comes in a small jar) 1/2 c Sugar 1/2 c Brown sugar, packed 1 1/2 c All-purpose flour (less if you like crunchier) 1/3 c Unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 tsp Baking powder 1/4 tsp Salt 2 Eggs 2 tsp Vanilla extract 1 c Semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 c chopped pecans # 1 - Use a double boiler and melt the butter, chocolate chips and espresso. let it cool for about 10 minutes. (or just heat on low in a saucepan) # 2 - Mix the dry ingredients together and then add the eggs and vanilla. Mix the ingredients and then add the chocolate /espresso mixture. Make sure the chocolate is cool when you pour in with the eggs...don't want scrambled eggs. # 3 - I use regular chocolate chips. # 4 - The mixture is going to have a shine to it. Depending how your oven works, (some are hotter than others etc.... check on the cookies after 8 minutes. They will puff up a little, and look pretty much like when they went in. You might take them out when there is a little shine left and when the edges have a crusty form. It depends if you like crunchy or soft cookies. I like soft, and I have a hot oven, so 8 minutes is fine. # 5 - I recommend you seal them when hot in a Ziploc bag, because they dry out and get hard fast. May the Spirit of Christmas move you and those you love to make these cookies. ~Barbara Allyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping in one would be a great wrinkle preventer. You could take a hot bath, and zip yourself in for the night. I won't even comment on the " hard " part. Barb May the Spirit of cookies move you and those you love to a better place in life, one that nobody can see how many you've eaten. ~Barbara Allyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
