TWD: Cafe Volcano Cookies
Macduff of The Lonely Sidecar selected Cafe Volcano Cookies for this weeks recipe. Meringue cookies, filled with toasted nuts and flavored with espresso powder. These crunch, nutty cookies just crumbled in your mouth. The recipe is very similar to the spiced nuts that are so popular. These cookies couldn't have been easier to make and stored in a tightly lidded tin mine stayed fresh for more than a week.
I used both the almonds and walnuts as called for in the recipe, but next time I would stick with one type of nut. The walnuts completely over powered the flavor of the almonds. I think a good variation would be to use only almonds, eliminate the espresso and add orange zest. Also I might chop my nuts a little finer. If you are a nut lover you will find these cookies suprisingly adctive. If you want the recipe for these nutty cookies drop on over to The Lonely Sidecar.

Mimi, your cookies look fantastic! Good idea on sticking with one nut. These were insanely easy to make!
Your photos are fabulous! And, your cookies look great too! I liked these. So easy!
These cookies look so good! I'll have to try make them soon. I love simple recipes.
These cookies sound really interesting. I bet they taste amazing. I would have to stick with just almonds because I'm so not a fan of walnuts.
I can't resist a cookie! They sound so yummy with all those nuts and espresso! Thanks for making my recipe - I'm so glad you liked it.
These look divine! Yum!
Mimi, these Cafe Volcano cookies looks stunning and delicious. Bet I would go to Lonely Sidecar and have a go on the recipe. :-)

Mimi, what can I say....Your cookies leave me speechless. They look stunning. They are most defnitely delicious. Wow!!
Your cookies really came out. I thought they were delicious (mine).
I like the idea of one kind of a nut though. I would love to try pecans.
I love your description of these. You make them sound irresistible!
Wow Mimi they do look crunchy!!! Loved the idea!!
I love the spiced nuts! Their smell is so alluring I can never pass them up! :) These cookies sound fantastic.

What a unique and intriguing recipe! I agree about Walnuts, they do have a strong flavor and I don't use them as much as I used too. Now I use Pecans for some many things.
Absolutely gorgeous photos!
I like your idea of chopping the nuts finer. That would have helped. Gorgious picture--but your post pic doesn't show. Maybe it's my computer.
