These are subtle and delicious espresso shortbread cookies. I used Scharffenberger 70% dark chocolate for the dipping. The recipe is here. Although the yield is far smaller than promised, that is a very good thing. You will not be able to stop eating them.

I'm looking at this on my Blackberry. First thing I thought was "chocolate covered Goldfish??"

Holy crap, those look amazing.

nom nom nom
I'd probably make them without espresso, since David objects, but I lurve Scharffenberger.

Sinfully delicious looking! Thanks for the link. A definite must make.

Not looking....I will not go look...oh my, those are scrumptious looking!

Hey! That's all four essential food groups: coffee, chocolate, butter, AND sugar! The perfect food.

Ooooooh, I may have to make those as holiday baked gifts.

I promised myself that I wouldn't look at the recipe but I did and (as I expected) I have all the ingredients. The only trouble is that I'd eat them all.

Yummy!

Espresso and shortbread...the perfect combo. I might even try to bake them!

They look scrumpdillyicious but my waistline is safe from them. Can't stand the taste of coffee. Clearly, I am in the majority.

errr... minority. Sheesh, I need my tea!

I immediately thought of holiday baked goods. Though, clearly, extensive pre-testing will be required...
Thanks for the recipe! Love the stars.

When I woke up at 4 am today and couldn't get back to sleep, I grabbed a book from the pile on my night table...it happened to be Taunton's Holiday Cooky book and that one was in it. Yum, even though I don't drink coffee.

I am NOT pleased with you.
It's better with superfine sugar. And I'd use their 82%. I use salted butter and add no salt.
For a double chocolate cookie, you could add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder just after creaming the butter.

I've seen a similar recipe for those called Java Eclipse cookies. Unfortunately, my husband also saw that recipe. Java Eclips is his specialty at work. Which means that I may end up having to make them for an entire staff of a small software company.
Why, oh why, do they have to name computer languages after food?
