These little chocolaty bites have just enough coffee flavor to deserve the title of mocha. With a drizzle of chocolate and chocolate chips within my Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies satisfy your Starbucks craving without ever leaving the house.
I’ve mentioned before how much my 7 year old loves coffee. Ever since I let her take a sip of mine as a toddler she’s loved the flavor. Any time she see me drinking it she asks for a sip.
I promised on her birthday she can have a whole cup of decaf. She is energetic enough without extra caffeine. She loves to hula hoop, do cartwheels, and cross the monkey bars. All things I was never good at as a child. I was more of a bookworm and she’s much more athletic.
When she saw these come out of the oven and smelled the delcious smell accompanying them her eyes lit up. This recipe is for you, my sweet girl.

I didn’t have any almonds nor almond flour, so I looked around and had half a cup of hazelnuts to grind up and sesame flour. Oh. My. Word. The hazelnut with the dark chocolate and coffee is mind blowing. Highly recommended! I also cut back the cocoa to 1 T just out of personal preference and chopped up some of our 85% chocolate bar for the chips. Thank you for this!! Definitely joy-filled!

I’m trying to make these & the batter is very, very dry & only forms a cookie with me hand pressing it. It seems there’s not enough wet ingredients – are there really no eggs? Seems like it needs egg to hold together.
Taryn says
There are no eggs. This is more like a shortbread. The gelatin is the binder. Adding egg would make these cakey.
Denise says
On the mocha cookie recipe…it says to combine first 6 items, bake, drizzle…this would omit items 7 & 8…gelatin and vanilla…from being used. These sound great, help please.
Taryn says
Sorry, that’s a typo. Combine the gelatin and vanilla with the other ingredients in the food processor.
