\"\"Anyone who knows me knows that I am passionate about coffee. I roast my own so I can get it just<\/em> the way I like it. I’ve always preferred my coffee black, but recently have fallen for the charms of Bulletproof Coffee, which is coffee blended with coconut oil (or MCT oil) and grass-fed unsalted butter (or ghee), and an occasional touch of honey.<\/p>\n

I’m sure you can see where I’m going here. How could I not create a cookie inspired by this drink?<\/p>\n

And, oh man, what a good idea that was. Some of the enthusiasm could be chalked up to the fact that The Man and I have been on a no-sugar-no-flour diet for almost three months, but when we succumbed to temptation and each tried one, we were very, very excited about them. Which led to one more, just to be sure they were as good as we thought.<\/p>\n

They were.<\/p>\n

These cookies are not too sweet, with a strong (but not overwhelming) coffee flavor. Let’s see: 3 tablespoons of espresso powder equal 9 cups of coffee, and the recipe makes 48 cookies. So if you ate 5 cookies (hey, they’re little!) you’d eat the equivalent of a cup of coffee, more or less. You’ll be getting your coffee buzz in a delightful way. Yee HAW!<\/p>\n

Of course, I’d probably dunk mine in a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

Hey, boys and girls. Do you know what time it is? That’s right, it’s COFFEE TIME!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What surprised me about this recipe, besides the fact that it actually exceeded my expectations, is the texture. These little devils are very soft and fluffy inside (almost like cake) but are slightly crispy on the outside. And I threw in some dark chocolate chunks, too, which complements the coffee flavor. Perfection.<\/p>\n

They’re also incredibly easy to make. No fussy stuff – just mix ’em and bake ’em. Here’s the recipe:<\/p>\n
