Boy, do we love coffee. That first sip in the morning? A bit of heaven right here on earth. So it just makes sense to take those yummy flavors and whip them up into a cookie recipe. Our Coffee Cookies with Mocha Buttercream Frosting is our attempt to do just that. The cake-y cookies are the perfect delivery device for our delicious Mocha frosting. If you are a coffee lover, these are the cookies for you! Mmmmm ….. Mmmmm …. good!
How to get the Perfect Coffee Flavor
The coffee flavor in these yummy cookies comes from dissolved Instant Coffee granules. We found that brewed coffee wasn’t intense enough to flavor the cookie dough. This Starbucks French Roast Instant Coffee worked perfectly but you can use any other brand of Instant Coffee. Dissolve the granules of a single packet in 1/4 cup of warm water. Allow the water to cool to room temperature before you add it to the cookie dough.
How to Make the Coffee Cookies
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for three minutes. Next, add the eggs and mix another three minutes until the dough is light and fluffy. At this point, you should mix in the coffee mixture and the Half n’ Half and mix just until combined.
Step 2: Add the baking soda and salt and combine. Finally, mix in the flour. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Roll the dough into balls and flatten slightly onto the cookie sheet before baking.
Step 4: Bake the Coffee Cookies in an oven preheated to 350-degrees for 9-10 minutes and allow them to completely cool before you frost them.
How to Make the Mocha Buttercream Frosting
While the cookies are cooling, make up a batch of our creamy and delicious The Best Mocha Buttercream Frosting. You can find the recipe and detailed instructions on how to make it right here.
Frosting and Decorating the Cookies
Step 6: Place the Chocolate Chips in a plastic bag. Heat in the microwave until they are melted. Snip off one of the ends of the plastic bag. You will use this melted chocolate to add a decorative drizzle to the top of the cookies.
Step 7: Frost the Coffee Cookies with our creamy and dreamy The Best Mocha Buttercream Frosting.
Step 8: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Mocha Frosting.
