    Who needs a cup of coffee when you can have your espresso in cookie form?! The idea of putting coffee into cookies seemed like the perfect way to marry two of my favorite things.

    About a month ago I splurged and bought these caramelized white chocolate chips. I played around with a couple different cookie ideas, but these caramelized white chocolate and espresso cookies has been my favorite use of this sweet chocolate. The strong espresso coffee flavor blends perfectly with the sweet chocolate.

    What kind of coffee do I need to make these cookies?

    For these caramelized white chocolate and espresso cookies, I used a finely ground espresso. I used Panther Coffee's espresso because they're my local favorite, but you can use any espresso you like. To get the really fine powder I was looking for I used this electric coffee grinder.

    What other types of chocolate can I use?

    If you don't have caramelized white chocolate chips, no worries. You can opt for some dark chocolate chips or even regular white chocolate chunks would work great for this recipe.

    How do you store unbaked cookie dough?

    I'm a big fan of making a big batch of cookie dough and freezing the bulk of the dough in order to have fresh baked cookies whenever I want. This is my process for freezing cookie dough:

    1. Using your ice cream scoop, scoop out your cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
    2. Chill the scooped cookie dough balls in the freezer for 20 minutes.
    3. Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and place the cold cookie dough balls into a freezer safe zip-top bag.
    4. Place the freeze cookie dough for up to 2 months.
    5. When it’s time to bake the cookies, bake them for two minutes longer since the dough is frozen.

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
