Slightly sweet mocha pillow cookies. Gluten free, low fat, easy to make, and even easier to eat with a big cup of Koffee Kult Costa Rican Naranjo La Rosa coffee and a good book. Yes, that is in fact the best way to enjoy these cookies, but we won’t judge you if instead they are eaten during that 3pm slump you seem to have every afternoon at the office. After all, these do have chocolate and coffee in them. And what cures the afternoon boredom better than that? 

These cookies are little pillows of chocolate goodness. The coffee just brings out the chocolate flavor even more, and creates this perfect little pillow cookie that instantly begs you to slow down and savor this sweet indulgence in only 15 minutes. 

Pro tip: Make a double batch!

Many recipes for chocolate cookies or brownies will call for just a tablespoon or two of cold strongly brewed coffee. But really, that’s not enough coffee flavor for us here at Koffee Kult. So we added finely ground coffee right into the batter! Yup, just grind your coffee to an espresso grind and add a teaspoon or two in. Whatever you prefer!! These cookies are vegan, so feel free to taste the batter and decide when the coffee flavor is perfect for you. Just be warned, cookie dough is very addicting, and if you aren’t careful, the batter will disappear before your eyes!
