Coffee break

Every afternoon at 2:45 I make myself an espresso or a double-shot latte. It is partly my addiction to caffeine and partly my love of the process. Some days it is the only time I take solely for myself. I have a Gaggia Carezza espresso machine. It is on the lowest end of their product line and I’m sure that I’ve more than paid for it in the amount of money I haven’t spent at Barriques, our local coffee joint.

I usually don’t have cookies with my coffee, but I’ve been inspired by Epifurious and Alpineberry to try my hand with their favorites. Both are delicious and will now be part of my cookie repertoire. My gingersnaps look nothing like Epifurious’ picture, my dough may have been too cold as I chilled it 24 hours. But they do taste great. What is your favorite cookie?

    Looks delicious, thanks for the links. I may have to try this recipe. I love all kinds of cookies, but chocolaty types are probably my favorites.
