Espresso Dark Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Happy Valentine's Day! What do you get a husband that really doesn't care too much about Valentine's day or gifts for that matter....cookies....they love cookies !

So here's a cookie designed for my husband that any of your loved ones who love espresso and dunkin their cookies in it - will love! This is definitely a dunk your cookie in coffee or milk - cookie!

What you'll need:

• 1 cup of canola oil

• 3/4 cups of brown sugar

• 3/4 cups of white sugar

• 2 tsp of vanilla

• 1 tsp of baking soda

• 2 large eggs

• 3 - 3 1/2 cups of flour

• 1/2 cup of espresso - want a more coffee taste - make it 3/4 cup of espresso

• 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (less or more as desired)

For rolling:

• 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar in a small bowl.

• 1/2 of granulated white sugar in a small bowl.

What you'll do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a stand mixer, combine the oil and sugars until smooth. Add the vanilla, coffee and baking soda - until well mixed. Add the eggs - mix well.

Slowly add the flour by 1/2 cup. Until 3 cups. The batter should be thicker but not flourly - so that you can roll the dough into a ball, if its too loose, add 1 tbsp of flour at a time. If you added 1/2 espresso - 3 cups of flour should do. If you added 3/4 espresso - you may have to use 3 1/2 cups of flour.

Take a spoon or cookie scoop and drop into the granulated sugar. Coat the cookie ball well - and then drop it into the confectioners sugar and coat well.

Place cookie balls, on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes, until the tops have crinkled. You want these cookies to be soft.

Enjoy with your loved one(s) tonight with some coffee or a good tall glass of milk! Happy Valentines Day!!
