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?

oh, I adore Julia Child. Awesome giveaway. My favorite cookies are the chocolate chips cookies that my grandma makes. They are always perfectly yummy.
I'm a coffee guy… but what recipes are there for baking with tea? I like a good Lapsang Souchon myself…
My favorite cookie would be "Candied Bacon" Cookies. A basic sugar/choc chip cookie, but the bits are pieces of bacon that have been candied with sugar in the oven. My mama's idea… pretty good, if admittedly weird. Mama's also big on snicker doodles with chili.
Gonna hafta try the 'cronflake shortbread' cookies from Hawaii, sounds…. interesting.
But I'll let you know my favorite after you send me the book!
Chocolate chip…and love your cookie jar!
peanut butter blossom hands down. those are amazing.
My favorite cookie is shortbread with raspberry filling in the center! Those or russian teacakes with pecans!
Sugar cookies are my favorite!! There is SOOO much one can do with sugar cookies!! Flavors can be added, the decorations, they have endless possibilities and taste amazing!!!
Peanut butter oatmeal!
My favorite cookie is chocolate chip, but I love almost all cookies.
Cookies are a favorite snack of mine. I say a cookie a day makes me a happy girl. My favorite is Dark Chocolate, dried cherry and pecan cookies from America's Test Kitchen.
Hi;
How about no coffee or tea, for me. Never liked the taste of either. Coffee, tea? No, just water thanks.. Like you I do love coffee, espresso in baked goods and I love coffee ice cream.
Oh man, that's hard! There are so many cookies out there that are all so different. I'd say my go-to recipe is oatmeal chocolate chip. I looooove oatmeal in baked goods. But I can think of like 10 more kinds of love love love!
i like shortbread but especially cornflake shortbread that i've never had outside my home state of hawaii. y'all are missing out.
My Favs are to many to pick just one… I'm a cookie junkie and love them all. i guess if I had to pick on it would be chocolate chip.
my favorites are snickerdoodles they are fun to say and fun to make!
soft gingersnaps. YUM!
