This recipe came from my mom's Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I've been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.—Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Test Kitchen tips
  • For a caffeine-free version, simply leave out the espresso powder.
  • Milk or dark chocolate chips can be substituted if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Do not remove the cookies from the baking sheet too soon after baking. They are more fragile when they are warm.
