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?

Those are some gorgeous cookies!
My favorite is a Salted Oatmeal with Raisin Cookie, although the NYTimes Chocolate Chip Cookie is a very close second. I might just add the 3 Tb. of instant coffee, inspired by your recipe, next time I make them.
Either way, if I win or if I don't, have a great day!
What a generous giveaway! My favorite cookie is a thick oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, the kind that has a minimal amount of flour and melty chocolate. Ohyes. Or just give me the cookie dough.
mmm, i love mocha flavored things, although i don't mind a good coffee either. It's way to difficult to name just one cookie but I have to say the New York Times Chocolate chip cookie has been one of the best.
My favorite is called "team cookies" and I got it from one of my favorite food blogs. it has peanut butter, peanuts, oatmeal, chocolate chips… and it's totally perfect. Absolutely delicious!
There's no way to cut it down to one kind for a cookie monster like me. I love soft ginger cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate, pumpkin white chocolate, chocolate mint…last night I made mocha chocolate meringues with almonds, mini choc chips, and cinnamon. Life is good.
White chocolate macadamia nut – preferably ever so slightly undercooked so they're all squishy.
my favorites are oatmeal chocolate chip! all chewy and warm… mmmmm. :)
Chocolate chip cookies – crunchy edges and soft, melty, centers.
I would have to say good old chocolate chip though there are lots of other good ones too: christmas sugar, double chocolate, shortbread, monster, and many more!
My favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin cookies can't beat those plump raisin the chewy ones are the best
Chewy chewy chocolate chip cookies. I know I'm boring, but I don't care. Especially right out of the oven.
My favorite cookie would have to be oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chocolate chip cookies with dark chocolate.
I'm going to have to go with chocolate chip, straight out of the oven.
Snickerdoodles, madelines, and chocolate chip, I am a sucker for classics.
