Mocha Chip Cookies
These delicious chocolate chip cookies taste like they've been dipped in a mocha latte! Do I really need to say more? They bake up soft with slightly crisp edges and tend to disappear within a few hours. The type of chocolate chips used add very different characters to these cookies so try several to find the ones you like best. My favorite are white chocolate, but dark chocolate are especially delicious as well.
