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!

  3. 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!

  17. 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! :)
