Espresso White Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookies

A Cookie A Day, Keeps The Blues Away!

Well, what a lovely Monday morning it is!

I know most people don't like Mondays but mine is not so bad considering I'm having one of these!


Espress White Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookies. I mean just the name should tell you how yummy these cookies are. It has espresso, white chocolate and chocolate brownies all mixed in one bite-size little cookie. I made these as a snack for a meeting we will have tonight and I had to work hard to protect them from Juho! ;)


So so let's get started shall we?

Ingredients:

150g dark chocolate
100g white chocolate (1 cup white chocolate chips)
113g butter
3 eggs
1 cup + 2 tbs sugar
2 tsp instant coffee granules
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Pre heat your oven to 175C / 350F

2. If you have white chocolate chips, that's great! But if not, you can do what I did, which is chop up the white chocolate into small pieces, coat with a bit of flour and set aside.


3. Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and the butter until you have a smooth mixture and set aside to cool.


4. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar and coffee granules. Beat for about 3 minutes until the mixture is very thick and forms a ribbon when the whisk is lifted.


5. Add the cooled chocolate mixture slowly to the egg mixture while whisking well (so as not to let the eggs curdle in case the chocolate mixture is too warm!) Mix well until all is combined.


6. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixture and mix until combined. Add the white chocolate chips and stir.


7. This mixture can be a bit runny so it is advisable to pop it into the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before baking.

8. Using a tablespoon or an ice-cream scoop, heap little portions onto a baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake for 10-12 minutes (it is better that they are underbaked rather than overbaked, as they will harden on their own while cooling)

Extra notes!

- They are very sticky so make sure they cool for awhile before trying to remove them from the baking sheet as the bottom may come off, so use 2 seperate baking sheets and cycle them.

- Inbetween the batches, it is best to put the batter in the fridge in case it gets too runny.

...and that's all folks! I just have to say they were yummy yummy yummy. And SO CHEWYYYY! Gah I love chewy cookies :D


Try making them today! And have a blessed day!

Love,
Keshi
