It baffles many, but I do not drink coffee of any kind. I’m just not a huge fan. However, put it in baked goods or ice cream – I’m all for coffee. These cookies feature espresso and hazelnut coffee. Both mesh perfectly with dark chocolate. Freeze-dried raspberry on top pushes the flavor over the edge. Seriously addicting and seriously delicious

I’ve been slowly going back through my previous bakes and revamping and changing things up to make the recipes my own. I’ve also been reshooting the food. These cookies are part of that redo series, and I hope you enjoy with your coffee or with your tea!

Do you think these can be made sugar free?

  I’d say yes, but would definitely roll the dough out a bit more thin if eliminating sugar completely. Just adjust baking time for the thinner cookies too.
