Hello lovelies, today isn't just about a new recipe – I'm also introducing you to our kitchen favorite. A little while ago a new roommate moved into our kitchen: the Sage the Oracle™ Touch barista machine – and without exaggerating, the whole family has fallen a little in love. Most of you who follow me already know I'm a big coffee lover. And since freshly brewed espresso is also the secret ingredient in my cookies, it's a perfect match.
The machine is wonderfully intuitive: add water and beans, choose your drink on the touchscreen, and it takes care of the rest. For the cookies I only need one freshly brewed espresso, which I let cool – that's what gives the dough its fine coffee note. For frothing, by the way, we always use oat milk, which comes out perfect every time.
But now for the recipe I promised, which you can enjoy beautifully with a cup of coffee: the espresso cookies. They're quick to make, vegan of course, and turn out really delicious with a hint of espresso and lots of chocolate.
The cookies are perfect for the Christmas season too and will win over any coffee lover. My kids love eating them as well – the amount of espresso is small and, once baked, no problem at all.
If you're toying with the idea of your own portafilter machine: the Sage the Oracle™ Touch has been with us every day since, is beautifully made, and the coffee tastes like it's from a barista. For frothing we use Oatly Barista, which makes perfect milk foam the plant-based way too.
