Chewy, double chocolate cookies with a hint of coffee flavor. These Mocha Cookies will knock your socks off.

My daughter started her Christmas list already…..because she’s my daughter and is always thinking 14 steps ahead. Whenever we’re out at a store and she asks for me to buy her something, instead of saying “no” flat out, I say “that would be a great thing to ask for Christmas!” So, inevitably, she started her list.

Among other things, she’s asking for ice skates, Elsa and Anna wigs, an Anna dress, girl legos, a pink princess watering can and a morticadenza pony.

No, that is not a typo. She wants a morticadenza pony.

I asked her to explain to me what exactly that was because obviously ponies have gotten more sophisticated since I was a child. Basically it’s a pony with wings and a spiral horn {not to be confused with a unicorn because allegedly they are two very different creatures}. This breed of pony is dark purple and pink with sparkles that speaks english and is everyone’s friend. I think he/she also wears red lipstick?!

Needless to say, Santa’s got his work cut out for him this year.

So, that should be fun to figure out in 5 months. I’ll keep you posted on what happens.

Anyways.

I made cookies for you…..and I guess for me too. They are sweet, chewy, chocolaty concotions with a hint of coffee flavor. All good things, all good things.

To be clear, I don’t drink coffee; never have, never will. #gross I do however know and love coffee extract. That’s what I used in this recipe. You can omit it to make just chocolate cookies, or find some lovely replacement such as instant coffee granules. OR! Try something adventurous like orange or peppermint extract! Talk about a party in your mouth, yo.

Give this recipe a go this weekend and let me know how you like them. We devoured these like there was no tomorrow! Such tasty little devils……

Here’s how to make them:

Start by creaming butter and sugar together…..simple enough, right?

Plop in an egg,

a little vanilla extract,

and coffee extract, or a different extract flavor or instant coffee granules. {Not to be confused with actual ground coffee.}

Whip it all together until it’s light and fluffy.

Measure out and stir in all the dry ingredients and then…

…add in some mini chocolate chips. Or regular chocolate chips. I like the mini ones because they disperse a little more evenly throughout the cookie dough, but regular chocolate chips are fine too. I’m not a hater. Chocolate is chocolate, yo.

Oh, hello gorgeous!! Feel free to skip anymore steps from here on out and eat this with a spoon.

I may or may not have done that…..ahem.

ANYWAYS.

Scoop the dough into cookies and bake for 8 minutes on the nose.

And just like that, you’ve got some chewy, gooey, fabulous cookies.

Ladies and gents, I give you the perfect cookie.

Do you see the chewy goodness in there? AMAZING.

Have I mentioned how much I love chewy chocolate cookies?! Cause I’m 94% sure I’m in a straight up love affair with them.

Um, what?

Anyways, here’s the awesome printable. Give these a whirl soon 🙂 You won’t be sorry!

Have a great weekend, friends!
