You may have caught the In Sixty Seconds Toronto Star post yesterday that began with a recipe for espresso cookies. Being a coffee fiend who roasts beans often, I couldn't resist trying it out.
They're called "Espresso Cookies," which is mainly because of the dark roast, but these are really just coffee cookies. (They do require a fine grind, but more flour-like than espresso-like.) And calling it "coffee" isn't a slight. These sugar-covered treats are a great, coffee-flavored treat that is perfect for adult crowds and coffee fiends. Put a pile of sugar cookies out for the kiddies, and these for the adults. Since they've covered in sugar, it's also a good excuse to get out the colored sugar like I did, and theme the cookies up good and proper.
I'm now looking for a good rationale to eat these suckers all the time. There's just something subtly addictive about them, and with that added blast of roasted flavor from the bean, I'd write a song for these cookies if I could.
