Chocolate Espresso Sea Salt Cookie is ooey, gooey and is loaded with semi sweet chocolate discs, espresso powder and a sprinkle of sea salt.
I feel like I am on a cookie kick right now. Maybe it's because the holidays are rolling around super fast and I know pies and tarts are in my near future, so I am savoring every bite of these scrumptious cookies. Quite possibly one of my favorite cookies recipes that I tweaked a little to make it even better. All butter and the combination of granulated and light brown sugar make this cookie rich and full of flavor. I decided to add in one teaspoon of cornstarch into the Chocolate Espresso Sea Salt Cookie to ensure the extra soft touch that we long for in every bite. These cookies have the perfect crunchy edge, soft gooey center (I like to slightly under bake them) and loaded with chocolate and the right amount of espresso.
