      Can I use instant espresso coffee

      Yes!

      Since the recipe calls for sour cream,do these cookies need to stay refrigerated after baking?

    5. Jenn says

      December 02, 2023 at 10:25 am

      They do not! They do need to be in an airtight container, and they’ll last longer if refrigerated. I typically keep my cookies like this in a cake stand on the counter.
