For me there is nothing better in the winter then waking up to a blanket of snow. It's like Mother Nature put a nice, clean white coating of calmness all over the neighborhood. It's also a very good reason to make cookies. Snow just makes me want to bake, and even though I have lots to do today, I know my kids will never have a memory of me wrapping and cleaning all day, but I hope they do remember that whenever it snowed, Mom made cookies.

I don't know why they called these Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies because the recipe didn't contain espresso or espresso powder (I added it). They are very chocolaty with a nice espresso kick.
Make sure you let these cool in the pan 5 minutes before you transfer them to a wire rack. They dough is very soft so I kept mine in the fridge in between batches.

I don't live where it snows but would love to experience it one day! The cookies sound awesome!
We got a dusting of snow the other day, I know we're due for a BIG one soon!! I don't know how I missed this post but these cookies look great!
OMG, Lisa!
Out of 12 different types of cookies and cakes I made for Christmas, THESE were the ones my sis couldn't stop talking about!
They were fantastic!
Thanks so much for posting them!
