Anna – The reason for the instant powder is because it is more concentrated than regular espresso brewed from a machine (1 tbsp of instant espresso powder in 1 tbsp of water is quite strong). So no, it would not be the same using regular espresso.

Would it work to use actual brewed espresso from a machine instead of the instant kind?

Oh- and I used Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate chips and they were a perfect compliment to the espresso. :)

I found this via Pinterest and made these for a dinner party last night. I do a lot of baking, but I truly believe these are fool-proof. I had less than two hours to get them made before the party, so there was no way I could let the rolled dough chill for 2 hours. I rolled it out in the bag (didn’t have such great luck with that) and stuck the entire thing in the freezer for 30 min. or so. Of course, when I took it out and cut away the bag, I managed to drop the rolled dough on my counter and it broke into pieces. I pulled out some parchment paper and pieced it back together. I let it warm a bit and then rolled it between two pieces of parchment. It rolled back together relatively easily and I was able to cut it into squares and get them baked and cooled just in time for the party. It looked and tasted great and was a hit. Can’t imagine it could be much better, but I’m excited to try it again when I’ve really got the time to do it right. Thanks for sharing!
