You are probably reading this post wanting to know what IS this secret ingredient that makes your chocolate chip cookie recipe so incredible? Well, it’s instant espresso. What? I know, it sounds a little weird. You are probably wondering to yourself if this makes the cookies taste like coffee. I don’t think that it does. Instead the instant espresso enhances the chocolate flavor making for delicious cookies that your friends and family won’t stop talking about.

Instant espresso powder can be found in the coffee aisle of your local grocer, usually with the other instant coffee products.  One of the most popular instant espresso brands is Medaglia d’Oro, which is my personal favorite, that comes in a small 2 oz. glass container.  If one doesn’t want to use espresso, regular instant coffee, or even decaffeinated instant coffee could be substituted (but may change the flavor of the original recipe just a bit).
