Double Chocolate Espresso Live Tasting Recap

Thank you to everyone for tuning in to our second live Instagram cookie tasting on August 13, 2021! We hope you enjoyed getting to hear about the Double Chocolate Espresso from our founder himself — as well as learn about a surprise addition to the evenings cookie lineup.

We certainly enjoyed eating ice cream and gelato, and drinking mixed drinks with ice cream, with this delicious cookie. It's amazing what constitutes “work” at a cookie company.

For those who missed the event (you can always watch it again on our Instagram feed!) or those who want to recreate some of the drinks, we’re sharing how to recreate each delicious pairing.

Double Chocolate Espresso

Fine Belgian bitter and semi-sweet chocolate and cocoa powder with notes of espresso . . . Meet our addictive brownie-cookie hybrid!

Option 1:

Pair with: A glass of cold milk; the colder the better.

Option 2:

Eat with: A scoop of fine ice cream. (We recommend vanilla, chocolate, coffee, strawberry, cherry chocolate chip, salted caramel, or mint chocolate chip). To make it truly special, drizzle it with Fran's Raspberry Sauce.

Option 3:

Pair with: An Irish Coffee Affogato. This delicious cross between a mixed drink and dessert is the perfect accompaniment for a Double Chocolate Espresso cookie.
