Description

Imagine biting into a deeply satisfying chocolate cookie, its texture a delightful dance between soft and slightly chewy. These cookies offer a rich, decadent experience, perfect for sharing or savoring on your own. The predominant flavor is a luxurious chocolate, carefully balanced with a subtle hint of coffee that enhances the overall depth and complexity.

The coffee doesn't overpower; instead, it weaves its way through the chocolate, creating a harmonious blend that awakens the senses. The aroma alone is enough to entice. As you open the container, the rich scent of dark chocolate mingles with the invigorating fragrance of freshly brewed coffee, promising a treat that is both comforting and stimulating.

The cookies themselves are visually appealing, boasting a deep, dark color that hints at the intense chocolate experience to come. Each cookie is thoughtfully adorned with a single, chocolate-covered coffee bean, adding a touch of elegance and a concentrated burst of coffee flavor. These cookies are surprisingly easy to make, and the dough can be prepared ahead of time and frozen, making them perfect for those moments when you crave a homemade treat but don't have a lot of time.

The dough handles beautifully, rolling out smoothly and evenly. The key to achieving that perfect soft-chewy texture lies in not overbaking them, so keep a close eye on them towards the end of the baking time. The dipping process is simple: a gentle swirl in melted chocolate, followed by a brief chill to set the coating.

For neat and even dipping, using a fork to lift and drain the cookies can be helpful, and chilling the coated cookies before adding the decorative coffee bean ensures everything stays in place. The result is a batch of truly exceptional cookies that are sure to impress with their flavor, texture, and overall presentation. These are wonderful enjoyed with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a glass of cold milk.

They also make a thoughtful and delicious gift for any chocolate or coffee lover in your life.

Instructions

    1.
    Blend butter in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until it’s soft and creamy. Then, blend in the egg, vanilla extract, coffee extract, and liquid stevia drops. In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl, and blend the ingredients together until you have creamy cookie dough. You may need to scrape down the bowl and mix multiple times to incorporate all the ingredients.
    2.
    Set the bowl of cookie dough aside in your refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes. Then, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Scoop the chilled cookie dough into 1-tablespoon portions, roll them into balls, and press them into thumbprint cookies on the parchment paper. Smooth any cracked edges on the outside of the cookies. Place the tray of cookies in your oven and bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before you decorate them.
    3.
    To decorate the cookies, create a double boiler to melt the Keto chocolate chips. Please melt more than what is listed in the ingredients so you have enough to work with. Melt the chocolate in the double boiler, and set it next to whole coffee beans. Choose one coffee bean per cookie, coat it in melted chocolate, and place it on a piece of parchment to cool. When all the beans are covered, use an extra dab of wet chocolate as glue to adhere one chocolate-covered coffee bean to the center of each cookie. Enjoy the cookies once the chocolate has hardened.
