## Tips

- Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor due to similar flavor molecules.
- Almond butter provides extra protein and healthy fat for a dense, fudgy cookie, and its flavor molecules harmonize with chocolate and coffee.
- Salt activates taste perception, making food taste more intense, and provides sensory contrast.
- Almond butter and milk replace eggs in this recipe.
