These were deliciouis! Not much sugar, so the espresso flavor shined. My husband called them grown-up cookies! I did not have mini chocolate chips. Regular ones worked fine, but the minis would have made slicing
easier. Thank you!

In reply to Chris. There should have been: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in the ingredients list. The espresso is in powder form rather than brewed. Enjoy!

In reply to Anne. Yes! I mixed the dough in a food processor! After mixing in the food processor, transfer to a clean working surface and work it work your hands for a minute to get it to from a nice dough and then mix in the mini chocolate chips.

In reply to Linda Greene. When you say the dough was crumbly, do you mean after mixing or after chilling and then slicing? If you mean, after mixing, working the dough with your hands a bit will help warm the butter up and make a 'moister' dough that holds together better. If you mean after chilling, then I find that using a sharp knife and a quick cut helps prevent the log from crumbling when you slice it.

Did you use the food processor to make these? It kinda looks that way in the pictures…I’m always looking for easy food processor recipes! These look really yummy.

In reply to Jill. I have a similar recipe that uses 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, and 1 Tablespoon Instant espresso powder mixed with 1 tablespoon hot water. The rest of the recipe can be followed as written above.

Hi Kevin, I am wondering about the vanilla too? Please reply as I am in the process of making these cookies. I have never made shortbread cookies so I prefer to follow your recipe exactly.
Thank you.
