Double chocolate chip cookies with coffee ganache centers are a true indulgence—rich, decadent, and totally unnecessary. Because why settle for one chocolate layer when you can have two? Add the espresso ganache, and you’re essentially serving up an experience that’s both sweet and a little rebellious. These cookies might seem extra, but who doesn’t need an extra hit of chocolate and caffeine in their life? They’re perfect for those moments when regular cookies just don’t cut it. Enjoy at your own risk, because once you start, there’s no going back.
