Eight irresistible cookies paired with a coffee ganache so rich it should require a warning label. These treats are unapologetically indulgent, merging crispy cookie bases with a glossy espresso-kissed ganache that screams sophistication.

They aren’t polite enough to be served at tea parties, but they definitely know how to steal the spotlight at dessert tables. Just remember, sharing is optional, and eating them all yourself? Totally understandable.
