This recipe is especially good for anyone asking what cookies go well with coffee.

As noted, I do refer to this as the cookie that is for adults.
Not only do we get double chocolate in this cookie, we also get a bit of coffee.

There are some cookies that seem to go well with coffee.

I refer to those like their dry biscotti cookies that they can dip into their coffee for a perfect match in flavor and for the palate.
However, serving a cup of coffee along with a double chocolate cookie certainly does have its merits.

Making a great tasting cookie such as this one involves using some great tasting ingredients.

Some of these ingredients you may not have on hand at the moment. Unsweetened cocoa powder can easily be found online. Also, you will need sugar free chocolate chips, which you can find here.

To make this low carb, use a low carb all purpose flour.
Also, to make this keto use a keto all purpose flour.

Lastly, to make this recipe gluten free, use an all purpose gluten free flour.
Also, if you are using Almond flour, please add an additional egg to the batter to aid in the binding process. I suggest anyone using any of the all purpose flour alternatives check the packaging to see if an additional egg or other binder for gluten free baking is needed as well.

Here are some tips for making this cookie recipe.

I just mentioned that you will need unsweetened cocoa powder as well as sugar free chocolate chips for this recipe. Also, I gave tips on how to make this low carbohydrate or gluten free recipe.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. Using instant espresso powder will make this an easier to make recipe rather than if you were to use espresso beans. You can find instant espresso powder here.
2. Mixing your batter more than it needs to be mixed can make your cookie less chewy as the gluten will become more active as a result. Avoid over-mixing your cookie batter for best results.
3. I always remind folks that for best results, use fresh ingredients. Also, measure those ingredients as accurately as possible. Adding too much flour can make your cookie crumble so make sure that you measure accurately.

Here is how to freeze these cookies to bake later.

Use your cookie scoop to form the cookie dough and place the formed cookies on to parchment paper just as if you were going to bake the cookies right away. If you place the cookies on to a parchment paper covered cookie sheet and freeze them, you can transfer the frozen cookies to a zip top freezer bag or freezer container for a more convenient storage.
