These Mocha Cookies are created in one bowl, baked in 15 minutes and no chilling required! With cocoa powder and instant coffee powder make the most delicious mocha flavored home baked cookies!
Preheat oven to 180ºC (356ºF) fan-forced. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add flour.
Add cold cubed butter and using your hands, rub the butter into the flour until it reaches the consistency of coarse crumbs, this takes about 2 minutes.
Add brown sugar and cocoa powder, mix until well combined.
Make a well in the middle and add beaten and milk. Mix until a cookie dough forms, using your hands for this step makes it easier.
Scoop up 1 tablespoon worth of dough and roll into a smooth ball. Flatten ball in the palm of your hand to form a round disc, place cookie disc onto lined sheet. Alternatively, place ball on lined tray and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten out into a round disc.
Repeat with remaining dough, leaving about 5cm space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes and until cookies come away easily from the parchment paper.
Remove and cool on sheet for 2 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Drizzle
Drizzle each cookie with the melted dark chocolate. Set aside and allow them to set.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store: Allow cookies to cool completely and store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 1 week.
Freeze: Without the chocolate drizzle, place baked and cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly zip-lock bag or container, layered with parchment paper between each layer of cookies to prevent sticking. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw: At room temperature for 1-2 hours until soft enough to eat. Add chocolate drizzle on top if desired.
