Baking with Coffee Posted on May 07, 2014

Would you like some cookies with your coffee? Or would you like some coffee in your cookies? We tend to think of coffee as a drink to be sipped from a cup, not as an ingredient for cooking and baking. When used in recipes, it brings a lovely roasty character to dishes. Sometimes it stands out, and sometimes it blends into the background, adding a layer of flavor and complexity to a dish with more dominant tastes and aromas. For example, there’s no mistaking the coffee in our Espresso Shortbread, but the coffee in our Dark and Delicious Chocolate Cake is much more subtle.
