Chocolate chip cookies are one of my absolute favorite treats. They have all of my favorite flavors, a hint of vanilla, chocolate, the chew of a good rich dessert, and all in a bite size treat. However, with that said, every once and a while I want to mix things up in my cookie game. That is what this post is all about. Welcome the Espresso Chocolate Chip cookies…yes they have both flavors, because why not? And espresso and chocolate are the ultimate taste teammates , one making the other even better than they would be on their own.
This recipe uses my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and by basic I mean seriously amazing. Then, I add a healthy dose of Espresso chips which strike the perfect balance along side its chocolate counterparts.
The result of this little change is mind blowing, and absolutely delicious. Additionally, if I may, they are phenomenal with a strong cup of coffee or espresso. Give these a try today they come together quickly and are worth the make.
