Chocolate and coffee go together like… well, like chocolate and vanilla. Both vanilla and coffee highlight chocolate's deep, rich flavor - without imparting any but the faintest hint of their own flavor. Add a teaspoon or two of espresso powder to your favorite brownie, chocolate chip cookie, devil's food cake, or other chocolate recipe, and taste what a difference it makes – your chocolate will sing! Espresso powder is chocolate's best friend. Use ½ to 2 teaspoons in chocolate baked goods, frostings, and sauces; a touch of espresso powder enhances chocolate's flavor without adding any coffee flavor of its own. To flavor buttercream or frostings, dissolve 1 tablespoon of espresso powder with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or water before adding, so you don't get any flecks.

Cape Cod Soft Molasses Cookies
Prepare...
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, salt, and baking soda until they're well-combined.
- Beat in the egg, and then the molasses, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to blend in any sticky residue.
- Add the flour, oats, crystallized ginger, fresh ginger, spices, and espresso powder. Mix just until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop the sticky dough into 1 1/2" balls; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.
- Roll the balls in sugar (either granulated or coarse), if desired. This is easily done by sprinkling the sugar into an 8" cake pan, and dropping the sticky dough into the pan. Shake the pan to coat the dough balls with sugar.
- Space the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2" between them.
Bake...
Bake the cookies for 8 to 14 minutes; bake for the shorter amount of time on a dark cookie sheet without parchment; the longer time if you've lined your baking sheet with parchment. The centers will look soft and puffy; that's OK. Cookies baked for the shorter amount of time will be VERY soft; bake them longer for a firmer cookie.
Enjoy!
Remove cookies from the oven, and cool right on the pan; or transfer to a rack to cool. To maintain soft texture, store at room temperature once cookies are completely cool.
