A bit ago I received a lovely gift from Rachel, who is an amazing baker and followed her passion to pastry school and now works in a bakery that has the best pie. She has pie skillz. When she handed me the jar of espresso/cacao/vanilla extract the very first thing that popped into my head are Christina Tosi's compost cookies. She shares the recipe on her website here. These cookies have potato chips and pretzels, chocolate and butterscotch chips, they are fun. They call for ground coffee, and I do not enjoy coffee. So I subbed the vanilla in the recipe for 2 teaspoons of the the espresso/cacao/vanilla extract. It was brilliant, still highlights the chocolate but without an overpowering coffee flavor. Perfect for the non-coffee lover in your life! YUM!
