Dark Chocolate Espresso Walnut Cookies

These soft and fudgy Dark Chocolate Espresso Walnut Cookies are incredibly complex in flavor and texture. They are intensely chocolatey, which I feel is the perfect background for coffee flavor. Adding some chopped walnuts to the dough provides a crunchy contrast to the fudgy interior.

Making Dark Chocolate Espresso Walnut Cookies requires very little hands-on time and baking skill. The only “trick” to achieving the ultimate texture and flavor is to chill the dough.

Chilling the dough helps develop the flavors and keeps the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, but rather stay thick and fudgy. You will love these easy mocha & walnuy cookies!

Happy Baking!

    Oh my! These cookies are amazing, I used dark chocolate and they turned out delicious. I had to bake them in batches and put the spare dough in the freezer while the other cookies were baking. The ones I left in the freezer turned out so much better but I’ll definitely be making these again. Maybe I’ll add almonds in too?

      I used semi-sweet. Dark chocolate chips might be too much of a good thing, with the dough also being dark chocolate and espresso-flavored.
