Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies
There are plenty of chocolate chip cookie recipes on this blog, from my favorites to these brown butter chocolate chip cookies, but somehow I felt the need to try one more recipe. You cannot blame me though. Look at these beautiful Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies!
The flavor is so intense due to using espresso powder. Actually, the espresso works on two levels: one – it adds a nice flavor to the cookies and second – it enhances the taste of chocolate. The chocolate I used has a 60% so it is quite intense, but feel free to play a bit with percentages to reach the exact taste you want. What I would recommend however is to stay away from milk or white because the cookies are quite sweet as they are due to having enough sugar; so adding sweet chocolate will only rise the amount of sugar in the final cookie, making it very difficult to eat and enjoy.
The recipe calls for brown butter as a flavor enhancer and it works great with the espresso powder and dark chocolate. It adds a nutty aroma to the cookies and that is something I always look for in products like these. In fact, I could say just making buerre noisette is an amazing activity in itself – the sizzling, the flavor, the color changing – it’s all so interesting! To make brown butter, first of all melt down the butter then let it boil down all the milk and liquid. Shortly after, the fat that remains will start to sizzle. Keep it on medium to high heat until it starts to look golden brown and it changes the aroma as well. Cool down and use or keep in an airtight container in the fridge just like any other fat. Mind you, you can keep the cookie dough in the fridge as well.

Se foloseste unt normal sau unt de arahide??
Daca era unt de arahide, in mod cert as fi scris 🙂
Olguta, o intrebare va rog frumos, am copt aceste fursecuri asta seara si mi-au iesit foarte plate, si desigur foarte crocante, nu e la ce ma asteptam chiar daca la gust sunt bune, oare trebuia sa contina reteta si praf de copt sau am gresit eu cu ceva? Multumesc anticipat. Mia
Sunt fursecuri mai crocante, dar nu chiar plate dupa cum se vede si in poze de altfel.
Incercati sa le congelati inainte de coacere pentru a remedia aceasta problema.
