Triple Chocolate Espresso Bean Cookies

"This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. The dough can be frozen and used later, if you don't want to make them all at once. Just place balls of the cookie dough into freezer bags and toss them in the freezer. Bake them straight from the freezer, increasing the baking time by a couple of minutes to compensate for the frozen dough."

directions

  • Preheat oven 375°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together whole-wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat until the mixture is a thick, frosting-like consistency. Add in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is incorporated before adding in the next one. Add in the vanilla and mix until it is incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring after each addition until the flour is incorporated. The dough should be moist and uniformly brown.
  • Stir in the espresso beans and chocolate chips by hand, mixing just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto a cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes on the middle rack. Don't overbake or they will dry out. It's best to underbake them just a bit.
  • Allow to cool.

  3. These were excellent chocolate cookie. They were easy to put together. I loved the taste of the espresso in them and the chocolate covered coffe beans is wonderful. Made for ZWT4 Zingo.
     
  4. Made for Family Picks ZWT4 – I had by mistake measured double the amount of butter, and already added sugar, when I realized my mistake, so I ended up with a double batch. No problem at all, my Co-workers all wanted more than one, and the recipe too. Chocolate covered espresso bean are hard to come by so I chopped up 3 ounces of espresso bean, and added 5 oz extra chocolate. No complaint there. 6 dozens gone in 24 hours…. Thanks Annisette.
     
  5. This is an *excellent* fudgy cookie. I made these while on vacation, it was so simple to put together and ahead of time. When it was time for dessert, I was at a loss, then I remembered I had these in the freezer - could of been the bevy's before... I popped them straight into the oven from the freezer and the aroma perked everyone up. My guest were asking what kind of dough it was - they we're definitely going to buy it ;) I told them, it was something I just threw together last night.... Oh you should have seen the looks. But there wasn't a crumb left on the plate. YUM! Will be making these and keeping them in the freezer for those times when ya just gotta have a little somethin'.... or would be terrific for unexpected company dessert!!! Oh- so good and so easy! Thank you, Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe! *keeper* in my book. Made for ZWT3 ~V
