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?

I would have to say that my favorite cookies would be oatmeal raisin! I love the texture and just the mixture of the oats and the raisins together.
I got everyone around me addicted to melomakarona..traditional Greek orange juice cookies, drenched in honey syrup and tossed in chopped walnuts :)
Right now, my favorite cookie is the Chewy Chocolate Gingersnap Cookie by Martha Stewart. They seem more grown up than the originals.

My favorite cookie is by far peanut butter with chocolate chips!
I really love a chewy ginger molasses cookie. Although I baked giant oatmeal raisin/date/dried apricot/walnut/butterscotch chip cookies for the Super Bowl. :-)
While I can't recall ever coming across a cookie I didn't enjoy, you can't beat good old chocolate chip.

I am boring with my favorite cookie…it is Oatmeal Chocolate chip. I really like them when my mom makes them because they always seem to be flat and chewy. But…what isn't better when your mom makes them :0)
l love mexican wedding cookies. they are the ones that are dangerous for me to make because i just cannot stop eating them when they are still warm. i am an avid cookie baker and love to try all kinds…..i want to try the chocolate caramel cookie brittle mentioned in marcia's post……..but cookies with coffee? i'm in!
Oh. My. God… Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle from the Piece of Cake blog 7/2009. Make it. It will change your life.
count me amongst the coffee addicts. i'm not ashamed. :)
favorite cookie? the ever-delightful and always-delicious oatmeal scotchie.
I'm not here to win anything, merely to comment that a) thank God someone ELSE never picked up the coffee habit either, I thought I was alone, b) being in London makes me want to drink tea in copious amounts (ohhh, Fortnum and Mason, how I miss you!), and c) you have reminded me that I need to go dig out my copy of In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs. There is a sweet potato pie recipe there that is to die for! Maybe you should take a look….
the best cookie is alfajores!
my friends always ask me to bake some
Toll House, with oatmeal added to the mix. It must be the brown sugar. Nothing is better than burnt sugar. My mother-in-law makes the best cookies I ever ate– light, crispy and chewy– and gave me her recipe 10 years ago. I couldn't believe how great they were the first time I made them–they tasted just like hers :o), and still do every time I make them. Thanks for your blog.
