Double Chocolate
Espresso Bean Cookies.
Notes: When forming cookies, you can roll into balls and freeze to bake later – perfect for the busy holidays or to pop in the oven for unexpected guests! Just add a few minutes to baking time to compensate for frozen dough.
Also, be sure not to overbake. These cookies taste great soft, so check the first batch at the minimum baking time, and adjust baking time to your oven.

285 g butter, softened
400 g granulated sugar
2 organic eggs
