Notes
I have a Nespresso espresso maker, but you can use 1/4 cup strong coffee if you’d like. If you don’t want any caffeine, use decaf or just use water.
I use a cookie dough scoop for all my cookie recipes, and really recommend getting one. It makes this go so much faster.
I get my chia seeds and flax seeds from Gerbs. I just order from Amazon. A 2 pound bag will last you a while in the freezer!
