Cappuccino Cookies - Chocolate and Coffee Dessert


	Cappuccino Cookies "A coffee and chocolate bite!" These cappuccino cookies have been a part of Italian cookie recipes collection for almost 30 years! This is an EASY drop cookie recipe. It's made with chocolate morsels, walnuts, and instant espresso. Don't panic on the instant espresso powder - I've been making it LONG before INSTANT espresso powder was around. You can see how to modify that in the substitutions section below.

Believe me - you don't need it. What?! You don't have instant espresso? The original cappuccino cookies recipe (which I think was in a Good Housekeeping Magazine from the 1980's) called for coffee, and these were the ratios: 2 tablespoons instant coffee mixed with 2 teaspoons of boiling water OR, I used to brew a cup of REAL STRONG coffee Where can I find instant espresso powder? Look in the coffee section of your store - or the International food section. It comes in a tiny jar. Dean and Deluca and other stores like that will carry it too. And I'm not a big huge coffee house fan - but I'm betting that they have them somewhere. Although I can tell you, I went on a re-con mission and asked Starbucks - sorry, they don't have it. But, we always got the internet right? Shop and click away. What's the difference between espresso and coffee anyway? Two things - the bean is different. And they are both roasted differently. Espresso beans are roasted until they are oily and dark.
