I make cookies every week for a group I volunteer for, so, yeah, I bake like crazy. I was a little hesitant to try these cookies because they sounded so labor intensive. I ordered the espresso powder and vanilla butternut flavoring, used all butter instead of shortening, and chilled the dough overnight. My testers (husband and daughter) enjoyed them, even though they don't rank on the top 10 list of their favorites, it's definitely a great addition to the family of non-chocolate cookies I've been asked to bake here and there for variety. What I learned from this trial is the value of espresso powder to enhance cookie flavor (especially in the chocolate variety cookies). Looking forward to trying more cookies from the blog. Thanks, KAF!
