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 love this recipe! mine spread a lot though… turned into cookie brittle, lol
I made these last week and they were so good! Everyone raved about them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Hate to be standard, but I also have to go with chocolate chip. But I'll have to try these – I agree, coffee as a beverage is just unappealing, while I love it in baked goods.
Martha Stewart has a recipe for chewy gingerbread cookies which are the best I've ever tasted. D'Amico's in Mpls also has some molasses cookies which are full of spice and awesome.

How can I pass up this recipe…Chocolate chip cookies are my FAV!
Chocolate Chip. Baking them has been a passion of mine for years.
I love brown butter chocolate chip cookies. After making the most recent batch,I devoured 20(!) of them in a row, while they were still warm, which is why I don't bake them very often. I have no will-power or self-restraint when it comes to brown butter chocolate chip cookies.

Tied between chocolate chip and ginger snaps.
My mom's molasses cookies – soft, cakey – delish. Perfect with a cold glass of milk.

My favorite is chocolate kisses! But these mocha chocolate chip cookies are yummi :)
I'm absolutely nuts for Alton Brown's chewy chocolate chip cookies. SO good!
I've to say I'm not a huge fan of eating cookies but I love to bake them (I know it's weird!). I think my favorite cookie to bake is the basic chocolate chip :)
My favorite is the traditional underbaked, chewey Toll House chocolate chip cookie, but I'm such a fan of cookies (over most other baked goodies) that I rarely turn down a good cookie! In addition to ice cream, and dark chocolate anything, you've hit one of my top three my dessert weaknesses. :-)
