Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies

Have you ever noticed that a really good cookie is usually easy to make? One of my Goodtaste viewer sent this recipe in. Lou says her mom has been making this basic chocolate chip recipe for years, but she added a twist. The espresso really brings out the flavor of the chocolate. The Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste is available at Central Market. Thanks for the recipe Lou!
