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?

My favorite cookies are white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Classic & delicious.
I have a new favorite since I recently made the white chocolate, coconut, macadamia cookies from the original Magnolia Bakery cookbook. Crazy good! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

what about cookie dough!?
My favorite kind would have to be homemade oreos, but my grandma makes the best date nut cookies and i have found that snicker-doodles have healing powers. I guess I really have three favorite cookies. :)
These look so good!
I have never met I cookie that I DON"T like :) But, if I had to choose one, it would be chocolate chip! Oh dear. Now I want a cookie!
I love chocolate and pistacchio biscuits!
Chocolate mint cremes or snowballs…yay for Christmas cookies!
A good old-fashioned peanut butter cookie … yum!
I love frosted Christmas sugar cookies, so delicious! Sugar cookies just aren't as good the rest of the year.
The best of all time cookies actually tastes more cake-like then cookie. It's a Black and White, and they just don't make them in Seattle so whenever I go back to the East Coast, it's the first thing I get. Yom yom yom.
My favorite cookie is by far ginger cookies made with crystallized ginger as well as ground ginger ~ the more "gingery" the better IMO!! I'll have to go search for the Peanut Butter Oatmeal cookies that Sara mentioned; those sound pretty yummy too. DH, however, won't touch anything other than chocolate chip or peanut butter. I may try to slip these Mocha Chocolate Chip cookies by him since they definitely appeal to me more than plain old chocolate chip cookies. :-)

My favorite to eat is probably chocolate chocolate chip cookies, but one of my favorites to make is rosemary butter cookies. I used to have a boyfriend who loved rosemary. The boyfriend is gone, but the recipe still gets put to good use!
Is there such a thing as a bad cookie??? I think not, but I must say my tride and true favorite is the good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie, I love to bake cookies and am always tempted to make many different ones, but then I think are they really a better choice than chocolate chip? I must say though that your cookies do look amazing and I will be giving them a try, the best of both worlds!
I LOVE white chocolate, cranberry, & macadamia nut cookies! I die.
My favorite are definitely snickerdoodles.
Thanks for the giveaway
