I might just have a slight obsession with espresso powder. Ever since I discovered it in the grocery store some time ago, I have literally been trying to add it to anything that I eat or drink.

Morning coffee… add a teaspoon of espresso powder.

Afternoon shake… add a Tablespoon of espresso powder. Yes. Tablespoon.

Desserts… sure! Let’s add some espresso powder!

Pumpkin Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

So that’s exactly what I did with these pumpkin espresso chocolate chip cookies. I didn’t necessarily want to just make some plain old pumpkin cookies this fall.

Even though pumpkin cookies are far from plain. But I did want to do something a little different and just add a little kick to see how they turned out.

And I have to say that they turned out fabulously! The cookies are soft and chewy, just how I like them, with just enough pumpkin flavor to know they are not a traditional chocolate chip cookie.

Then the added kick of espresso powder. Delish!

Now, there’s not a ton of espresso powder in these cookies as I didn’t want to go crazy on you guys, but there is just enough for a very slight espresso flavor.

And if you don’t like espresso, then I forgive you. But you’re more than welcome to leave it out and the cookies will be just as delicious and amazing!

Promise.
