I had a hankering for a cookie, but not just any cookie. I wanted a cookie that would make me feel like I was having coffee and enjoying a treat all at the same time. So, I decided to attempt caramel mocha cookies, or maybe they should be called caramel macchiato-chocolate chip cookies. Whichever name I decide to call them, I was hoping they’d hit more than one spot.
I of course, preheated my oven to 350 degrees and then gathered my ingredients for bowl #1. After I sifted flour, salt, baking soda; nutmeg and cinnamon I got out bowl #2 and worked on creaming together the rest of ingredients on my list: Crisco, butter, white sugar; brown sugar, caramel sauce and vanilla extract.
I used my hand mixer to blend the above, adding two eggs one at a time.
After several minutes, I made 2 ounces of instant coffee and poured into bowl #2. Then I folded in a bag of chocolate chips.
With the oven ready, I spooned the dough on to cookie sheets and popped into the oven. Just 15 minutes later and the cookies were ready to be eaten…well; I guess I should have waited a few minutes (my tongue still hurts).
Ultimately, these cookies don’t have a strong enough coffee flavor for me. I ended up drizzling a little caramel sauce on top of the cookies after they’d cooled down. If I decided to tweak this recipe, I’ll be sure to post the changes.
