Instructions
Cookies
Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make the cookie dough: Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs to the butter/sugar mixture and cream together adding one at a time. Then add the vanilla. For the dry ingredients combine baking soda, cocoa powder, flour, and instant espresso powder in a bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Put the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Stuff the cookies: Then take a spoonful of dough in your hands and roll into a ball. Do this until you have made 18-24 cookies. Then use your finger to make a 1/2 inch hole in the middle of each ball. Add a teaspoon of cold fudge to each hole. Then cover the fudge with cookie dough and roll into your hands until smooth and fudge is hidden. Then roll each ball into turbinado sugar and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Place in the fridge for another 20 minutes.
Bake the cookies: Then place the cookies in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Then take out of the oven and let the cookies set for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
