Chocolate Chip Mocha Cookies
Only four more weeks until Christmas means it is officially cookie season! Among gift shopping and tree decorating, we must not forget the very important task of baking holiday cookies. Nothing quite captures the holiday spirit like a tin of assorted homemade sweets, made with love and delivered with warm hearts.
Which holiday cookies will make the cut this year? We are happy to give these Chocolate Chip Mocha Cookies a big stamp of approval. While the classics should still stand, these cookies would make a great addition to any sweet assortment. Rich chocolate flavor combines with bold coffee notes, (courtesy of our Civilized Coffee Espresso Powder,) to create a balanced and not-overly-sweet treat.
As a bonus, we are positive that cookies with coffee in them are acceptable to eat first thing in the morning!
