On the weekends I like to bake.  My husband is usually gone a good part of the day on Saturday and that’s my time to do my baking.  Oh I could bake while he’s at home but I prefer to do it when I’m alone.  Mostly because the kitchen and dining room look like something exploded in them by the time I’m done baking.

Love the flavors in these Mocha Chocolate Cookies!

Part of my problem is that I can’t ever just bake one thing.  I gather recipes, find recipes that are similar or have similar ingredients, and then I bake.  This weekend I baked two dozen cupcakes, made a pan of brownies, and then I worked on these Mocha Cookies.   I love that they are made with cocoa powder and espresso powder.

These cookies are super easy to make.  They start with a basic chocolate cookie recipe that takes a twist with the espresso powder and chocolate chips.  I whipped up these cookies in about 10 minutes.  They were easy to make and I had all of the ingredients in my cupboard.

Everything you need to make a delicious Mocha Cookie!

As these baked they smelled like chocolate and coffee.  They didn’t look quite done when I pulled them out but the directions said not to over bake them.  I hoped that they would set as they cooled and I was lucky that they did.

Try these delicious Mocha Cookies for dessert.

These cookies are delicious.  They have a rich chocolate flavor and strong coffee flavor.  The cookies are super soft and just about melt in your mouth.  I took these in to work and people loved them.   They were gone in just a few hours and I had multiple people tell me they liked the flavor and how soft these cookies were.
