Dark Chococolate Mocha Cookies

These cookies are based on the Marta Stewart recipe for Dark-Chocolate Espresso Cookies. They are crunchy on top and soft on the bottom and middle.  The salt along with the espresso powder adds a bit of complexity to the recipe.

Chocolate Orange Espresso Thin Cookies

Another recipe from Martha Stewart. The secret to these cookies is to cut the dough to the same consistently thin size. Also,I sift the dry ingredients onto a flexible cutting mat. This makes it easier to add to the other ingredients in the mixer.

These cookies are made for coffee.

Mocha Morsel Meringues

These little cookies are taken from a Martha Stewart recipe. If you like contrasting textures in a cookie you will love these. They are light brown and crunchy outside, dark brown soft and gooey inside. They are also gluten-free and kosher for Passover.
