Espresso Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I had borrowed this cook book from the library a while ago and loved quite a few recipes from it. I wrote them down so I wasn’t in a big rush to buy the book. But now we bought the book and have found a new favourite cookie recipe. Belle picked this one out but everyone loves them. Even Dylan tried a teeny, tiny bite. My changes are in brackets.
