Thanks for the Mocha Cookie recipe. It sounded good when I found the recipe , so I proceeded to make it. I was impressed. Different, and not too sweet. It will be nice for entertaining. Thanks

These were so yummy! I made them just for fun, then took most of them to my nephew's birthday party for some "adult food". They were gone before I could turn around! I used mocha flavored instant coffee, which added to the wonderful flavor. They looked beautiful and tasted great! Not to mention they were so easy. What a wonderful treat! Thanks!

Nice cookies. Easy to make -- I was able to prepare the day before and cook prior to the arrival of guests.

These cookies have a nice flavor. I made a couple of changes: I added the chips and nuts to the dough, I sifted 3 tbsp cocoa powder into my dry ingredients and I didn't refrigerate for 2 hours (I made drop cookies instead). Worked well and didn't alter the flavor too much.
