Chef's Notes & Storage

The espresso should deepen the chocolate and peanut flavor, not dominate the cookie. Use conventional creamy peanut butter for predictable texture. Natural peanut butter can cause excessive spreading or oiliness. Contains peanuts, wheat, egg and milk. Chill time: 30 minutes.
