In this case, the developer is calling for chocolate covered espresso beans, which have become super common and can often be found in your super market along side the chocolate covered nuts.
In the headnote the recipe author describes them as "tender and rich dark chocolate cookies get a hit of espresso" which is what they appear to be in the photo.
I see nothing in the recipe ingredients that would seem to indicate any sort of exoticism. It's a chocolate cookie amped up with a little instant espresso powder (a common trick by pastry chefs to accentuate chocolatiness).
It's not that much espresso powder, just two teaspoons spread between ~36 cookies.
Calling them espresso martini cookies is cute marketing despite the fact there's no booze involved.
