The Good Morning, Starshine, the Earth Says Hello September theme is rolling right along.
It is also breakfast cookies. Last week was Grape Nuts cereal cookies that were amazing and I thought I would follow it up this week with coffee.
I might be the only nurse I know that doesn’t drink the stuff. This means I have no idea what is a good coffee. My husband assures me that espresso is the best coffee.
Okay, fine, I bought espresso powder that I hope my husband finishes because I’m not gonna.
The cookie came together quickly. Butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, espresso made from the powder and boiling water, flour, and chocolate chips. What’s not to like?
I am glad that I read the recipe last night because this has to rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours before baking.
I used the time productively by washing the bowl and wooden spoon I used. And setting up another pitcher of iced tea. Oh, and the sieve I had used for the powdered sugar so that there were no clumps.
After the dough had rested in a 9 x 11 square, I ran a knife through it, making it easier to break apart after it baked.
Cereal and coffee is all part of a balanced breakfast.
So is the orange juice I will be making next week.
