Best Mocha Walnut Cookies Recipes

MOCHA WALNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Place the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together thoroughly until light and fluffy. Place the vanilla extract, coffee, and egg in a separate bowl and whisk together.
• 2. Gradually add the coffee mixture to the butter and sugar, beating until fluffy. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into the cookie batter and fold in carefully. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
• 3. Place teaspoonfuls for the cookie batter onto 2 greased cookie sheets, allowing room for the cookies to spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until crisp on the outside but still soft inside. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.

MOCHA WALNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees (275 for convection). In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, the 1/2 cup of sugar, salt and espresso powder. Process until combined, about 15 - 30 seconds. Cut each stick of butter into about 12-16 pieces and add to the bowl. Pulse until the butter resembles small peas. Dump dough out onto a piece of parchment or wax paper and press it together. Place the chopped walnuts in a small bowl. Place granulated sugar in another bowl. Pinch off pieces of dough and roll in your hands. Balls should be the size of small marbles (about 1/2-3/4 inch diameter). Roll each ball in the walnuts and place 2 inches apart on ungreased (or parchment paper lined) cookie sheets. Using a small glass dip the bottom in the sugar and then flatten each ball with the glass. The cookies should not be too thin, about 1/4 inch. (The sugar will keep the cookies from sticking to the glass as you press.) Bake about 25-30 minutes, or until edges are lightly brown. Remove from oven and cool on pans on cooling racks about 5 minutes. Then remove from pans and allow to cool completely on racks.
