I hope you came here hungry! Today’s guest blogger is Rachel from Rachel Cooks. She made cookies with coffee espresso (!!) in them; they are perfect for snacking on any time during the day. Let’s get to business!

Hi Everyone! I’m Rachel.

I love easy-to-prepare meals. With a one-year-old running around, who has time for a dish that takes hours to prepare?

Enough about me, let’s get to the cookies! I was so excited to contribute to Katrina’s genius idea of “I’ll Bring the Cookies.”  What could be better than a whole month of cookies? These are a family favorite every year so I know this would be the cookie I was “bringing” to the party.

Note: For this recipe, you can finely grind your own espresso beans if you can’t find powder. I use this brand of espresso powder and I love it. And they aren’t paying me to say that.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Dutch cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • White chocolate for dipping, optional
  • Sprinkles or colored sugar, optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine butter, sugar and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients gradually.
  • Divide dough in half and use waxed paper or parchment paper to form rolls (about the size of a half-dollar in diameter).
  • Chill in freezer until hard (about 30 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Cut into 1/8 to ¼ inch rounds and bake 12 minutes.
  • Once cooled completely, dip cookies in or drizzle with melted white chocolate. Be careful as these cookies tend to be fragile. Sprinkle with red and green sugar if desired to make them more Christmas-y.
