Tuesdays with Dorie BWJ: Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don’t think Rick Katz’s Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies are meant to be a before bed treat. These are zippy! Two to three tablespoons of instant coffee and a pound of chocolate may just keep you wired. Too be honest, you could back off a bit on either of those and you’d still have a delicious chocolate chip cookie.
My dough looks dark compared to some others I saw online. Maybe it’s because I used instant espresso instead of coffee, or because I used Billington’s molasses sugar (which is a bit stronger than regular dark brown sugar). Anyway, I liked these a lot. Pre-scooping the dough and then baking them straight from the fridge or freezer helps keep the cookies from spreading too much. While I left out the suggested apricots, I used a mix of dark, milk and white chocolates because I’m crazy like that. Also, ice cream–well, you can see what I did there.
For the recipe, see Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan or read Peggy’s Galettista. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

A yummy “whoopie pie mocha chocolate chips” dessert… fantastic pic!
I loved these Mocha chocolate chips…I’ve doubled the ingredients (with some changes), split the dough into 4 portions and added different ingredients (such as orange, pecan+walnuts, dried cherries, almonds): a winner in our house

Mine are dark too. You had the best idea using ice cream! They were such a hit at my house, I might have to make another batch soon. Then I will make ice cream sandwich cookies for sure!

Oooh, ice cream sandwiches were an excellent idea! I’d fill mine with coffee ice cream 🙂

i wondered about adding the apricots so i only used half the amount. they received rave reviews, but for me, a warm from the oven toll house cookie is still all i need-at least until i saw what you did. must buy ice cream…

Eeeee….ice cream!!! That’s is divine looking! I too used three chocolates and I loved it. Your cookies look so nice and dark.

Genius to make ice cream sandwiches with these fantastic cookies! And on swapping the apricots for three kinds of chocolate. I totally approve!

Brilliant idea, I bet these cookies are perfect to ice cream sandwiches! I left out the apricots too. We loved them!

Like the ice cream sandwich! mine also turned out very dark, but I really liked the mocha taste. Mine turned out very differently, but tasted delicious anyway.

Adding ice cream makes this one very dangerous! Your cookies and blog are both beautiful

I like the color of the dough. The dark color makes it look more delicious.
