Ground Espresso or Coffee: The ‘secret’ ingredients helps balance out all of the chocolate flavour.

Cocoa Powder: Adds to the chocolatey goodness.

Sugars: Using both brown and white (granulated) sugar for this cookie recipe.

Egg: Helps with the fudgy, brownie texture to bind this cookie together.

Butter: Unsalted butter is the way to go.
