Take a bite of the rich, creamy taste of your favorite coffee drink in these White Chocolate Mocha Cookies!
I don’t know what my problem has been lately, but I feel like I’ve hardly baked anything for the past few months. Maybe it’s blogger burnout or laziness or I don’t know what. Don’t get me wrong. We haven’t been skipping dessert, but we’ve been eating ice cream, chocolate caramels, or store-bought cookies. (Have you tried many store-bought gluten-free cookies? I swear they are better than the regular ones!)
It doesn’t help that Costco recently brought back my absolute favorite candies by Sanders. I bought these there years ago, fell in love, and have been checking back for them pretty much every single time I go to Costco for the past three or four years. FINALLY, they brought them back recently. I bought two jars, but I feel like I should have bought more and hoarded them. Although $10 is a really good deal for the jar, spending $50 on five of them at once seemed a little extravagant.
Despite being flush with salted chocolate caramels, I recently started missing baking and eating homemade desserts, muffins, and the like, so I decided to bake some cookies. These mocha cookies definitely hit the spot and got me excited about baking again! They have a prominent coffee flavor, chewy texture, and chunks of creamy white chocolate. The only way to make these mocha cookies better is to enjoy them with a cup of coffee. Um, yes, I might have a problem. I even have a whole Pinterest board just for coffee! Check it out if you are a caffeine lover like me.
Of course, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll also want to try out this cookie recipe. I know you’re going to love it!

Oh man. Did you make these cookies knowing how much I love white chocolate cookies? And to add mocha? Now you are just pulling on my heart strings!

Carol at Wild Goose Mama says
Andi—-perfect!!!! I am on the look out for recipes utilizing coffee as
an ingredient—not espresso—but coffee. I have to back up and take a look at those brownies next. I just started looking—-Bingo here you are. That was very very nice of you—–
Andi says
I’m always looking out for you, Carol :) It will probably be hard to find the peppermint M&M’s for those brownies this time of year, but they would be just as good with regular M&M’s or chocolate chips. Enjoy!

I’m going to have to make several batches of these and send them to 4 of my daughters!! They are coffee lovers for sure (they take after their dad!).
Andi says
I hope they like them, Susan. Thank you!

I would love to have these cookies right now and totally hear you on the burn out. Sometimes we just need a decent break. Hope you’re able to bounce back ok. You know me, I love sweets ;-)
Andi says
Hi, Connie. I never take a break is my problem. Even if I go on “vacation” I am still working. One of these days I need to take an actual week off. Or even a day!
Sara @ Bitz & Giggles says
Andi, you seem to be quite the expert on mocha, not to mention coffee! These cookies look delish and I love the addition of the white chocolate!
Andi says
I might have a mocha problem. Thank you, Sara!
Krista @ Joyful Healthy Eats says
Andi these sounds awesome! I usually only make chocolate chip cookies but this one looks like a winner! Love me some white chocolate mocha!
Andi says
Thanks so much, Krista! I love dark chocolate chips, but these were a fun change.
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says
I love that you have a coffee board! I have a feeling I need one now too. Lol. Never enough Pinterest boards! And never enough coffee. Or cookies. Pinned!
Andi says
Yes, with a new baby you especially need your coffee (and cookies)! Thanks, Ashley :)
Annie @Maebells says
I am such a coffee lover, so these cookies look totally irresistible to me! I love that you added white chocolate, it is an underused ingredient in my opinion!
Andi says
Thanks, Annie! I don’t use white chocolate much, but I did like these cookies so maybe I’ll start adding it to more recipes.
