These cookies are a coffee lover's dream, combining the rich flavors of unsweetened baking chocolate, butter, and dark chocolate chips with a hint of espresso. The result is a fudgy, melt-in-your-mouth cookie that's perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. With a short list of ingredients and simple instructions, these crinkles are a breeze to make. The recipe starts by melting the baking chocolate and mixing it with butter, oil, and sugars to create a creamy base. Then, eggs, coffee, and vanilla are added for a burst of flavor. The dry ingredients are combined separately and then mixed into the wet mixture, creating a soft and pliable dough. After a brief chill in the fridge, the dough is shaped into balls, rolled in sugar crystals, and baked to perfection.
