This weekend I was stuck at home with yet another gosh dang cold. The tea kettle was whistling every other hour to fill up my mug of Gypsy Cold Care tea, and I accomplished little to nothing on my weekend to-do list.
Sunday, however, I had enough steam to bake four batches of Triple Chocolate Espresso Cookies (after triple-washing my hands, of course).
Cocoa Powder. Chocolate Chips. Espresso Powder. Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans.
The recipe is courtesy of 101 Cookbooks – as was last Sunday’s Sparkling Ginger Chip Cookie recipe – and was another smashing buzzing hit.
They’re great gooey out of the oven, even better snuggled up on the couch with a cold glass of milk, and I imagine they’d be excellent crumbled over ice cream.
Recipe Notes:
- I chopped the espresso beans and recommend you do the same unless you want to chip a tooth.
- I also suggest using parchment paper on your baking sheets – no spatula needed.
- From my experience, cookies with cocoa powder dry out fast; store them in the freezer. There’s nothing wrong with a cold, crunchy, chocolate cookie.
I was feeling a bit loopy last night. I couldn’t tell if it was the cold meds or the cookies.
I presume the later.
I’ll be buzzin’ through my week for sure… see ya!

Recipe is bookmarked! It’s my friend’s husband’s bday Friday and I wish I had time to make these beforehand. Good thing Christmas is right around the corner.
…and I hope you’re feeling better! =)
Those espresso beans from Trader Joe’s are my absolute favorite! I just ran out today.
I’ve never had cookies with actual espresso beans (not just powder). They sound (and look) incredible. Love all of Heidi’s recipes :) Do you have her books?
No, I do not have any of her books – Heidi has some wonderful recipes for sure!
Mmm such good flavors together here! I need to make a TJ’s run in the very near future :)
Yum! Great recipe :)
OMG YES I AM AN ESPRESSO ENTHUSIAST!! At my favorite restaurant in the WHOLE WORLD instead of giving you mints or whatever at the end they bring you chocolate-covered espresso beans. This recipe is happening. I am addicted to anything and everything coffee-tastic, it’s a problem.
These look to die for. I will most definitely be testing my baking skills out on these once I am home for fall break!
