Tips and Conclusion

Adjusting Coffee Flavor: For a milder coffee flavor, reduce the espresso powder to 1/4 cup.

Chilling the Dough: Don’t skip chilling! It prevents excessive spreading and helps achieve a chewy texture.

Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to 3 months.
