I am sure the path to heaven is glazed with espresso-infused butter.
Intense espresso flavor made rich and slick with butter packaging. Heaven I tell you.
Mocha cookies are easy to make, like most drop cookies.
They are the perfect cookie to make when you're in the mood for chocolate chip cookies, like these Nestle Toll House Cookie but want a bit more oomph.
You get some oomph from the espresso-infused butter.
Add brown sugar, egg and flour.
Then stud the dough with chocolate-covered espresso beans and bittersweet chocolate disks. The result is mocha cookies!
A cookie for coffee and wine
Do you have one of those friends that you can't get enough time with? When you two finally part the seas of work, children, husbands and significant others, time seems to stop because you can't stop talking?
These mocha cookies are perfect for that friend date.
They go with a strong cup of cappuccino, extra dry for me with lots of foam please, or a glass of wine--a dry, red I would say.
Your friend will love them too, And you won't be able to stop eating them.
Do you know when you're at a mall that has one of those Gloria Jean Coffee Bean companies--how the air is filled with that heady aroma of espresso and coffee and coffee beans?
That's the flavor you get from these mocha cookies.
Recipe Notes
You start by whipping together espresso powder and butter.
You can use a Starbucks Via packet if you have one lying around.
I used an espresso powder by Illy that I use in my Bialetti stove top coffee maker.
