I loved, loved, loved these cookies. I wear my saintly halo when I say that I ALWAYS waited until PJ put them in the employee kitchen, but were I wearing my devil horns, I would have eaten the whole panful the minute they came out of the oven. For those who don't care for coffee or espresso powder, I honestly never knew until today that there was any in the recipe, and I usually notice it right away, so it is not really noticeable in this recipe. Bravo PJ! Thanks, MJ - you're setting lots of minds at ease re: espresso powder. With 1/2 teaspoon for 84 cookies, you really don't notice the flavor, and it won't keep you awake. It's pretty much just to enhance the color. And I KNOW you weren't the main culprit with the disappearing test-kitchen cookies... ;) PJ
