CHOCOLATE CHIP ESPRESSO SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve the espresso in the boiling water, and set aside to cool to tepid. Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth.
• 2. Beat in the vanilla and espresso, then reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour, mixing only until it disappears into the dough. Don't work the dough much once the flour is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips with a sturdy rubber spatula.
• 3. Using the spatula, transfer the soft, sticky dough to a gallon-size zipper-lock plastic bag. Put the bag on a flat surface, leaving the top open, and roll the dough into a 9 x 10 1/2 inch rectangle that's 1/4 inch thick. As you roll, turn the bag occasionally and lift the plastic from the dough so it doesn't cause creases. When you get the right size and thickness, seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or for up to 2 days.
• 4. Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Put the plastic bag on a cutting board and slit it open. Turn the firm dough out onto the board (discard the bag) and, using a ruler as a guide and a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Transfer the squares to the baking sheets and carefully prick each one twice with a fork, gently pushing the tines through the cookies until they hit the sheet.
• 5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point. The shortbreads will be very pale-they shouldn't take on much color. Transfer the cookies to a rack. If you'd like, dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar while they are still hot. Cool the cookies to room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH ESPRESSO AND CINNAMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, egg, espresso powder, and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Beat in dry ingredients. Stir in all chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop dough to rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing 2" apart (do not flatten dough). Bake cookies until brown on top but still slightly soft to touch, about 14 minutes. Cool on sheets. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

TOFFEE ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, sugar, and espresso powder on medium speed until smooth about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until barely combined and then add the dark chocolate and toffee. Stir to combine. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes if it is really soft or shiny.
• Scoop medium-sized rounds of dough (I use a medium cookie scoop) two inches apart on a large baking sheet rimmed with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookie are starting to golden. Allow to cool briefly before serving.

• Slowly add the flour/cocoa to the creamed mixture over 12 minutes. If the powder escapes the mixer, you are adding it too quickly!
• Stir in chocolate chips at slow speed to give the final cookie dough.
• Using a leveled ice cream scoop, drop measures onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Leave the space of a drop between each new one. Bake for 9 minutes. The cookies will rise and still be soft when removed from the oven.
• Cool for 5 minute on the sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the espresso, then mix in the chocolate mixture. Let it cool.
• Stir in the flour mixture and the remaining 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Put bowl in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to the the dough firm up.
• Make tablespoon-sized dough balls. Put on cookie sheet and freeze overnight. If a cookie sheet won't fit in your freezer, you can use a plate.
• To bake, preheat oven to 375ºF. Completely grease a NEW cookie sheet. Don't thaw the dough. Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart on the pan.
• Bake 7-10 minutes, checking to see if they're done by sticking a toothpick inches If it comes out close to clean, they're ready! If it comes out wet with batter, continue to bake cookies until done. Enjoy!
• Note: Baking cookies straighht from the freezer will make them chewier on the inside and crispier on the top!
