Espresso Brownie Cookies

Happy 1st weekend of 2019.  I cannot believe it is already almost a week into this new year.  To celebrate making it through the week I made these Espresso Brownie Cookies.  Now I know they are not KETO, but they are pretty amazing and a perfect treat before I jump back on the KETO train next week.

Brownies or Cookies?

Do you ever have a hard time deciding between a brownie or a cookie?  Yes?  No?  Well I do…except not anymore.  This cookie/brownie is everything you love about both in one quick recipe.  

They are fudgy, rich and super chocolaty with a hint of espresso in each bite.  

The perfect bite

These are just the cutest little cookies.  I used a small cookie scoop because I wanted each one to be 3-4 bites.  

They are so rich that in my opinion if you made them any bigger I would not be able to each the whole thing.  To give these cookies a little something I added in the espresso powder.  It not only brings out the dark chocolate goodness but it also adds a little bitterness which makes this cookie something to remember.

Preheat oven to 350

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper

Ina medium saucepan melt chocolate and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth

Pour chocolate mixture into sugar mixture, beating until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed

Slowly add in flour mixture, mixing until just combined

Using a small cookie scoop place mounds of batter 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet - dough will be the consistency of brownies
