For chocolate and coffee lovers, these amazing, thick cookies are totally satisfying. That being said, I am not a coffee drinker and would make these espresso chocolate chip cookies every day.

Espresso Cookies
If you are not a fan of pecans, or have nut allergies, you can definitely use your favorite nut in these easy espresso cookies or skip them all together!
These cookies can never disappoint. I think it's impossible and I'm not even kidding.
My close friend uses coconut to make hers and her espresso cookies are terrific.
We have used roughly chopped walnuts, peanuts, almonds and no nuts at all. All just taste great.
Make these chocolate espresso cookies big or small, for your family or an event. They'll disappear lightening fast and every bite will be enjoyed.
Kids and adults alike.

The point is this soft chocolate cookie recipe is so versatile. You won't believe it yourself.
He likes to include as many things as possible, just like I do! I can't wait to hear what you all decide to add to your cookies, if anything at all!

Soft Chocolate Cookie Recipe
I always make these Double Chocolate Espresso Nut Cookies pretty big in size, almost every time I make them.
Depending on the size you decide upon you will know when they are done because the tops will be cracked and the middle or center of each cookie will look under done.
The key, I believe, is letting these cookies cool on the pan, on top of your oven. Do not over bake them, if at all possible.
