Espresso Mascarpone with a Hint of Rum Cookies

Cooking Time: 1 hour

American

Of course, I am a coffee hound! I am not sure what I would do if I could not get at least one cup in the morning before I start my day. Espresso powder by Delallo is my go-to instant coffee flavor for cookies. Since I love Tiramisu, this is...

Chewy Coconut and Caramel Sea Salt Cookies

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

American

I was drinking a cup of coffee the other morning and thinking back on all the cookies I have made. One flavor I have not really explored much was coconut. The problem with coconut is it can be really sweet. I love macaroons. But wanted something that did not have...
