Well, I didn't get the exact recipe for Pamela's espresso chocolate chip
cookies, but did receive lots of great hints and pointers. The most interesting
recipe had nothing to do with crispy cookies - it is a recipe for black bean
brownies - last item in the summary. Very interesting recipe, since cocoa and
coffee are both beans also.

***Mireille sent me a link to three recipes for espresso-chocolate-chip cookies.
She has not tried them, but thinks they might work.
She says, "I happen to have just posted 3 recipes of espresso chocolate cookies
in the recipe folder of the CD Support Group Forum: http://tinyurl.com/57nov
Once there, loggin (it is free) and go to the recipe: http://tinyurl.com/4jzfu"
and .. "A trick I learned for making them crisper, is: once they are cooled,
put it back in the oven, at just warm temperature (about 120F) for 1 hr or 2."

***Bette Hagman has a "Mock Toll House" cookie recipe in her Desserts book.
-------------------------------------------------
***In the absence of a recipe, I was just thinking of converting a rich
double chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have had pretty good success with
that and just using GF all purpose flour and Xanthum gum.
--------------------------------------------------
***I don't have a cookie recipe that copies Pamela's
cookies but I do have a GF cookbook that I want to
highly recommend. (As a side note, I have many GF
cookbooks but this one really stands out.) The book
is primarily a desert cookbook and the author was
trained at Le Cordon Bleu and Le Notre Patissier. I
have made several of her recipes and they turned out
wonderful!!! In fact, I am planning on writing her a
thank you note since her recipes have played a pivotal
role in allowing my 6 year old to feel good about
being celiac. Just a warning her recipes can contain
lots of butter and cream.

....Rebecca's cookbook has a recipe for Scottish
shortbread cookies and the ingredients seem to follow
Pamela's....
..... Its very easy and surprisingly good. I know the ingredients are well...
weird. But I promise that they are pretty good. My
husband loved them. The brownies from this recipe
turned out like fudgie brownies. I found the recipe
in a newly published cookbook that I recently
purchased (its not a GF cookbook but most of the
recipes are):
The Daily Bean by Suzanne Caciola White.
The recipe is entitled Big Bad Black Bean Brownies: (I
know its sounds weird but if you like fudgie brownies,
please give it a try....
1/2 cup margarine (I used butter)
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
4 eggs
1 cup pureed black beens (made from 1 15.5-ounce can
black beans, drained and rinsed)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
P.S No, I did not forget the flour: there is none
(this is the author's comment)
Preheat over to 350 F
Beat together margarine, sugar, cocoa and coffee. Add
eggs, one at a time, beating between additions. Beat
in bean puree. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into a
9X13-inch greased pan.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Cool completely and cut into squares.
