Dark Chocolate Cookies

With Christmas just around the corner, there's no better excuse to bake, and eat, like never before. So grab this opportunity with both hands and make a chewy, chocolaty, espresso-enhanced batch of deliciousness. Up there with some of my all-time favourite cookies, this recipe is yummy on a whole other level. 

Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate and coffee is one of my very favourite flavour combinations and, in the right recipe, they can make for heavenly baking. With this in mind, I couldn't get in the kitchen fast enough when I found this recipe from Laura Vitale, who's recipes I can trust and always turn out well. I can't emphasise enough how luscious these cookies are! I'm telling you, if you read this without making these, you will regret it. Forever.

The recipe should make around 40 cookies, although I only produced 20 - the thickness was nice but if you want to make them last longer, make them smaller. These cookies only had crumbs as evidence of their existence by the following morning...

This is my favourite coffee cake recipe. Light, moist and delicious, they can be made as 12 cupcakes or as one two-layered cake. The recipe couldn't be easier! There's nothing much more to said about these - except that they are guaranteed to please.
