Hints of coffee, chunks of chocolate mint candies, and a chewy texture that will have you coming back for more. These Mocha Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies are one of my personal favorites!
Today kicks off 7 days worth of Christmas Cookies, and this Mocha Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookie is amazing!
It’s the perfect cookie to start with because, hello? Coffee!
Coffee, chocolate, and mint come together in a cookie that tastes like a fancy coffee drink! It’s the next best thing when you can’t make it to the corner coffee shop to get that fix.
Seriously. I could probably scarf down the whole batch of these, but I’ll refrain because we have tons more cookies to follow.
I was looking at all sorts of cookie recipes to share with y’all this year, and cookies that had coffee in the ingredients always called for instant coffee granules. Who actually has that?
I like sharing recipes with y’all that you have the ingredients for already...and if you don’t have the ingredients, I like to at least give you a recipe with ingredients that you’ll actually use...I can’t really find a use for instant coffee in my pantry, so why should I find a reason for you to have it?
One cookie recipe isn’t a good enough reason for me, so for this cookie, we’ll use a few tablespoons of real coffee!
All you have to do is save a tad from your morning pot of coffee.
What ingredients do you need to make Mocha Mint Chocolate Chunk Cookies?
- flour
- baking soda
- corn starch
- salt
- cocoa powder
- butter
- coffee
- brown sugar
- sugar
- vanilla
- egg
- Andes Mint Candies
Do I need to chill this cookie dough?
Yes - but only an hour. By the time you get the kitchen cleaned up it will be just about time to bake.
I love these cookies, and really couldn’t wait to share this recipe with y’all! If you’re favorite coffee drink is a peppermint mocha then this cookie is for you!
