| Coffee Cookies |
 |
| Recipe appeared in the local
"Coffee News" in an issue that Jim picked up in 2008. These
are basically easy chocolate chip cookies with coffee flavor added. I plan to experiment with this recipe to get an espresso version to mimic the cookies I love from Whole Foods. |
Ingredients:
- 5.5 oz butter
- 1/2 cup coffee
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1-1/4 cup flour
- 2 oz chopped hazelnuts
- 2 oz plain dark chocolate [chips]
- 5 oz sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix sugar and butter until smooth, then add
additional dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the egg, vanilla
extract, coffee, nuts, and chocolate. Use a spoon to drop dough onto a
greased cookie sheet. Bake 'till done. |
Nutrition info:
Butter and sugar are the primary calories in this recipe. Using a
healthy spread and sweetener which are good for baking, would help this
recipe. The dark chocolate and nuts are healthy indulgences, but using
a chopped nut that has greater health benefits, such as almonds,
walnuts or macadamia would be an improvement. |
Yield:
Depends on size of dropped dough. Probably best if thin and a little crispy on edges. |
