Yesterday was officially the last day of summer, which means Fall is here – yay to that! Let’s celebrate with holiday cookie #2: Dulce de leche filled Chocolate Espresso Cookies with a hit of salt. Of course if you need to short-cut this recipe used store bought Dulce de Leche, but I prefer using this easy homemade recipe from my How to Make Homemade Dulce de Leche (and hey, there’s even step-by-step pictures!).
I realize the mention of holiday before Halloween makes some of you want to scream, but that’s what happens when you blog. It’s like retail – early for all things seasonal. Think of it as giving you options.
You’re not buying it. Okay, well then think of it as another hand-to-mouth addicting bite of cookie goodness.
Hit the jump here to Better Homes and Garden’s blog Delish Dish for a few tweaking options.
And don’t forget this is a Holiday Cookie Series in which I will be featuring a cookie a week up until Christmas.
Here’s last week’s in case you missed it—Holiday Cookie #1 : Sour Cherry and Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Welcome to my cozy corner where baking meets random thoughts and musings. I’m a self-taught baker sharing all things sweet (and some savory—okay, and cocktails) with a whisk in one hand and a camera in the other. 
I want to sample these!
I really like the combination of flavours used here, sounds great, and they present well!! Gorgeous
I need at least 8 or 10 of these! Dulce de leche makes an irresistible cookie!
I love sandwich cookies, the hit of salt makes these!
These look scrumptious! Seriously, I am a sucker for all things lemon. I can’t wait to give these a try!
these look perfect – yum!
BOTH cookies look just amazing. You’re officially invited to my annual holiday cookie swap.

I am so impressed that you have this many cookie recipes up your sleeve- these are gorgeous!
These look dreamy! You can never go wrong with dulce de leche and chocolate.
I’ve been mentally and spiritually prepping for fall for weeks – and I say spiritually because it’s my FAVORITE season and I can rejoice in sweaters and cookies galore! These are absolutely perfect for fall, love!
I don’t care how far away the holidays are, I want these cookies! With that said, I do love the holidays so I’m pretty stoked about this holiday cookie series!

Why oh why am I staring at the Hershey’s in the vending machine???? Oh wait – it’s because I spent the last 30 minutes gawking at these cookies!!!
I must say, I’m digging the countdown!
I work in the retail world, so I’m totally with you on Holiday timing. We’re planning all things Holiday right now! These cookies look awesome. I love the addition of espresso powder!
These will be my go-to holiday present this year. Thank you for this lovely recipe!!!
I love dulce de leche! These cookies would not last long here! Pinned!
Chocolate + dulce de leche sounds like heaven in cookie form! So gorgeous.
Love the cookie-a-week commitment too!
Naomi, there is never a bad time for a cookie. I think you should post a cookie a week all year long. These look so lovely.
It’s never too early to be thinking about holiday cookies
You have to go through the trialling and taste testing phases well ahead of time, right?
These are sure to be a favourite with my family – especially the dulce de leche filling!
Early is ok by me! As you said, it’s nice to have options. And what a delicious one this is!
How sweet are this! I love the cute design and if something mentions dulce de leche I’m there! 😉
Love these fun festive cookies!!
Congrats for being featured on BHG, I love that mag and website! Your cookies are incredible.
I will never say no to a fun festive cookie!!
These are stunning, I love the little pocket of dulce de leche! Just perfect for a treat at the end of the day (or any time really!)
This is just too much for my heart to handle! I am about to try and eat my computer screen here. I don’t normally make holiday cookies each year, but I am definitely making these. <3
Ooooooo. Yes, please!
Is there a “print” option for your recipes? I’d like to print this one (looks SO yummy!), but I can’t locate the print option.
