Oh my goodness these cookies are heavenly. So rich and bold - the flavors just sing together. Flourless chocolate cookies made with cocoa, caramel macchiato almonds, and dark chocolate chips. A chocolate & coffee lovers dream cookie!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup Coffee Almonds Caramel Macchiato Flavor (chopped)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
4 egg whites
1/2 tablespoon instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with lightly spray-oiled parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl combine instant coffee granules and vanilla. Stir and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped almonds, powdered sugar, cocoa, salt, and dark chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat egg whites until they are white and foamy, but are not stiff peaks. Switch the power to low and stir in the coffee & vanilla extract.
Remove the beaten egg mixture bowl from mixer and fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula until combined. The batter will be thick, like brownie batter.
Using a tablespoon, drop a heap (about 2 tbsp) of the batter two-inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, until the cookies are puffed, shiny and cracked. Remove cookies from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies from the baking sheet and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Pumpkin Bread w/ Dark Chocolate Chips - Using the Bread Machine

9/2/2014

This morning I woke up and found out that it is my husband's boss' birthday. Luckily I live about a block from his work (and mine at the moment). So I threw all the ingredients into the bread machine, crossed my fingers, and set the little whirly deal in motion. Then it was just a matter of waiting for it to mix and cook in the 3 hours that it is programed for. Now to get to work and come back at lunch to see how it did!

Came back at lunch, opened the lid, and it all turned out as yummy and delicious as I had hoped it would be. The only thing that I found weird was that the chocolate chips gravitated more to the outer edges on the ends.

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground clove
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Grease bread machine pan and kneading blade generously with shortening.
In a small bowl measure out the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices, whisk together until combined. Add chocolate chips to the dry ingredients, mix until chips are coated with flour mixture. Set aside.
Place the oil, pumpkin, vanilla, both sugars, and eggs in pan of the bread machine.
Gently pour dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients, close lid and select Quick Bread cycle only. After 3 minutes into cycle, open lid and carefully scrape down sides of pan. Close lid to continue with cycle.
Cool baked bread 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack, or follow manufacturer's recommendation.
