Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies
Add a little coffee to the cookie batter and kick things up a notch with this easy recipe for mocha chocolate chip cookies!
I really really wish I liked to drink coffee, but I just don’t like it. It would be SO much more convenient. Coffee is pretty much everywhere you turn, and us poor second class citizen tea drinkers are doing great if we can find some lukewarm hot water and a tea bag.
However, I mysteriously DO like the taste of coffee when it is baked into things.
Say, for example, chocolate chip cookies.
There’s few things in life better than a full cookie jar on your kitchen counter, don’t you think?

deliziosi questi biscotti! pefetti per colazione!
I'm with you about drinking coffee. I remember when I was a child I used to think to myself "oh I guess when I get older I get to drink coffee like my parents"….that day never came. I don't know if this means I'm just a big kid or I truly do not enjoy drinking coffee…haha;) Although I do confess I do like iced coffee. I agree mocha flavor is awesome inside baked goods. I'm all over this cookie recipe. Now this giveaway is awesome too! Fingers and toes are crossed;) My hands down favorite cookie has to be peanut butter. I like to roll it in sugar before it gets baked and then crisscross it down with a fork….yum!
oatmeal chocolate chip! right out of the oven hot and crumbled on vanilla bean ice cream is the best.
Looks like I'm in the same group as the majority of commenters — Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite.
My favorite cookie is the last one I made-
Chocolate Caramel Cookie Brittle, the one you posted before Christmas.
It was also everyone else's favorite!
I like a cookie called Chocolate Mints–they're made with Andes mints.
I can't stand the taste of coffee…but I adore the smell of fresh-brewed coffee…and I do like coffee if it's had a healthy spike of Bailey's in it! My favorite cookie would have to be chocolate chip cookies with macadamia nuts in it! Yum!!!
i love a good chocolate chip cookie. my husband makes amazing ones. only with the tollhouse recipe, but somehow mine never taste as good.
(wiping the drool from my face after looking at your pictures)….my every day fav. is chocolate chip, but the ultimate favorite are the old fashioned frosted buttermilk sugar cookies. A friend of mine makes these around Christmas time and I literally make myself sick eating them, lol!
simple shortbread.. love them!
Kate, My favorite is strufuli.It is a family tradition for my husband and seeing my children take part in it now just makes them delicious. The cookies and the children! ha ha
I also love just plain old chocolate chip, though I'm open to new possibilities all the time! But my tried and true favorite is chocolate chip. Mmm.
Love your cookie jar! Would also love to win a cookbook–thanks for the chance.
Snickerdoodle. Even the name is fun to say!
Chocolate chip! the old school toll house kind, though I won't turn down basically any kind.
