These cookies really are delicious! They stay soft and have a great balance of chocolate & coffee without being overpowering. I followed other reviewer's advice and increased the cocoa to 2T., but did not increase the vanilla. It seemed fine. One thing we are going to do is add mint extract instead-- I think these will taste like my hubby's favorite drink from 'Bucks during the holidays--a mint Mocha! I used a medium scoop from Pampered Chef & only got slightly more than 2 dozen, so I am going to double this next time. Thanks for the great recipe!

This reminded me of my cousin's delicious signature holiday cookies. I thought they were just tasty chocolate cookies but after trying this, I think the key ingredient must have been the coffee. It's softness depends on the length of cooking time. When left to cool on the tray racks right away it was soft and chewy. As for the last few pieces I left in the oven after I switched it off, they came out crunchier. Nevertheless, they were still delicious and I'm glad that I know how to make this mocha chip cookies without asking her for the recipe. :) Thank you, Fluffster. This is totally WOW!

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
