Try these absolutely decadent Triple Chocolate Mocha Cookies, they’re so good! I’m in love!

This cookie recipe is layered with chocolate and has a hint of espresso to mocha-fy them into bites of luscious treats.

This recipe can be halved or doubled easily enough, and you can also prepare the dough and divide into round balls then freeze for later use if desired. Due to using melted chocolate as one of the ingredients, it’s best to separate the dough first before freezing, otherwise you’ll have a very large ball of hard cookie dough that will take a long time to defrost.

If you don’t like the idea of adding the espresso, you can omit. The flavor can be enhanced more for a stronger flavor, if you prefer as well by doubling the amount of espresso.

These are prefect as a treat anytime or gift from the kitchen. I seriously love these cookies just as much as my other go-to favorite, Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies, both equally decadent and addictive!

Enjoy!

Notes

You can omit the espresso powder if desired, or for a stronger flavor double the amount.If you like a nutty crunch, you can add 1/2 cup of toasted Walnuts or Pecans.**You can melt the chocolate either in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals until completely melted, or melt in a bowl that's been set over a saucepan of simmering water (but not touching the water) and stirred until shiny and smooth then cooled slightly.**
