Joy the Baker, one of the very best cooking blogs, featured this recipe for Cappuccino and White Chocolate Chip Cookies last week. I didn’t waste much time in making them myself. And if I’m being honest, I think I may have found my new favorite cookie. Yes, I realize that I’ve said that before. I’m sure I will say that again. And to be frank, my favorite cookie is usually the one that I’m eating at the time.

The instant espresso powder gives these cookies a terrific flavor, it reminds me a lot of coffee flavored ice cream. But beware, don’t eat a couple of them too late at night. You just might have trouble getting to sleep from the caffeine. Someone in our house had that problem. It wasn’t the dog and it wasn’t me. I could drink three diet cokes right before bed, and fall asleep in an instant. The cookies were also a pretty big hit at work on Monday. I know I’ll be making these again very soon. I think I just might make the batter, and freeze the dough in individual cookie servings so that I can pop a few in the oven whenever the mood strikes. Which will probably be way too often.

Also, if you love that cappuccino flavor in baked goods, be sure to check out my post about Cappuccino Brownies from last summer. That’s an incredibly delicious square of chocolate goodness.

Enjoying my blog? I hope that you’ll consider becoming a fan on facebook or that you’ll follow me on twitter. It would mean the world to me.
