It’s not one you want to miss! Let’s talk about today’s recipe. I will be the first to admit, that as much as I love…ok, NEED…my coffee every morning, I’ve never been a huge fan of anything coffee, or mocha flavored. I don’t claim to make sense. But what I’ve found is that I guess I haven’t really given “mocha” a fair shot. I will assume it’s a food preference that carried over from childhood when I didn’t like coffee at all. And since we all know kids aren’t the best food judgers, I decided to give mocha a second chance. Glad.I.Did. These Double Chocolate Mocha Cookies are pretty fantastic. The coffee flavor is subtle, so you taste it a little bit, but it’s not overpowering. I think that’s the trick…the perfect amount of coffee flavor. Even my kids (who hate coffee) love these! I use instant coffee granules to amp up the chocolate flavor and give them just enough “something extra” to be interesting.
These cookies are the soft, thick, and loaded with milk chocolate chunks. The milk chocolate breaks up the flavors of the dark cocoa powder and the coffee. If you prefer a semi-sweet chocolate chunk, go for it!
Stay tuned for another great cookie recipe tomorrow! Follow along as we bake through 12 Days of Christmas Cookies! You can also use regular cocoa powder, instead of the dark cocoa powder if you prefer.
