Notes
I like to use espresso powder because it boosts the chocolate flavor without overpowering it. If you prefer, try adding a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy twist.
Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They taste great for up to a week! Enjoy these sweet treats with a cup of your favorite coffee ☕.
