Espresso Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients:

- Espresso
- All purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Next, add the egg, molasses, vanilla and espresso, whisk until whipped very well.
Gradually add the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined.
Over mixing at this point will make the cookies dough tough.

Espresso Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Tips
Coffee, chocolate and oatmeal are a fun combination to include in a fresh baked cookie. Make the most nutritious, delicious and fulfilling cookie by understanding a few simple tips. Here are the tidbits that will make your cookie dough preparation go a bit smoother.
- Chocolate: Not only is cocoa a beneficial superfood, but it also compliments the savory oats and rich coffee notes.
- Coffee: Espresso adds rich complexity that is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
- Oats: Rolled oats and quick oats are the best type of oats for preparing this cookie recipe. Quick oats are thin and have fragmented sizes compared to rolled oats. In contrast, rolled oats have a thicker flake that adds more texture to the cookie.
- Dried fruit: The espresso and chocolate are the main attraction in this cookie dough recipe, however dried fruits could add a welcomed compliment. Dried cherries, dates, figs, and raisins would balance well with the taste if you were looking for a slight variation. Orange zest also screams for my attention when I think about this combo.
- Nuts: Nuts add nutritional benefits like healthy fat, dietary fiber and protein. Almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia and pecans are nuts that enhance the espresso and chocolate in this recipe.
- Make ahead: Raw cookie dough can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place inside an airtight container or ziplock bag to avoid drying out and help maintain the moisture content inside the dough.
- Storage: Baked cookies will stay fresh for about 5 days when stored inside an airtight container at room temperature. However, they are so good that it’s guaranteed to not last that long!
