Dark-Chocolate Cookies with Espresso
If you get Everyday Food (one of Martha's publications), find the Dark-Chocolate Cookies with Espresso in the October 2008 issue (recipe found online here) and make these cookies!
There are a like a little chocolate caffeine shot!
This calls for 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate - 4 ounces melted and 4 ounces chopped. I substituted the chopped chocolate chunks for 4 ounces of semi-sweet morsels.
The winner is the tablespoon of instant espresso powder. This adds a nice touch to all things chocolate. (The Barefoot Contessa always adds coffee to her chocolate recipe to deepen the chocolate flavor). The second photo is the batter before the addition of flour.
The insides are dark, chocolately, and moist. You can definitely taste the espresso flavor...making it a "grown up" cookie. Everyday Food makes them bigger...if you do make smaller cookies, watch the time so you don't overbake them!
Get caffeinated! Find the recipe here...or pick up the latest edition of Everyday Food!

I love Everyday Food. YUM :) Everything they do is delightful.
These sound (and look) fabulous!
Wow, my fiance would LOVE those. You have the same brand as espresso powder that I use! It's great stuff. Those look truly decadent, but also totally worth it. Thanks for the tip about putting espresso powder generally into chocolate baked goods to deepen the flavor. I never knew that!
Here's the thing, I am not a fan of coffee-flavoured things, but these cookies look so good, I might just have to give them a try;)
My hubby would love these. (Espresso lover that he is.) They look so moist.
Your photos are beautiful.
mMMMmmm, beautiful photos! The cookies look fantastic :)
It's a pity they don't deliver the magazine here in Brazil - I would love to subscribe.
These cookies are amazing - LOVE your photos!
I love cookies, they are my favorite treat! These look outrageous! So rich and good!!
MM..... I just had a craving for an espresso! *off to Starbucks* :)
Yum! I frequently make Martha's Outrageous Chocolate Cookies (also featured in Everyday Food a few years ago), and add espresso powder to those. These look just as delicious.

Those look fabulous! I love adding espresso powder to chocolate cookies.

dark chocolate AND expresso?? talk about the best cookie ever!
I love the composition of your cookies shots. They are nicely focused. But the cookie idea of combining coffee and chocolate is even better. I need to make this! :)
Yum!
I just made the chocolate pudding from that same issue today - it was delicious! I thought about making the cookies but I don't have any espresso powder!
