Spiked Cookies and a Winner

Posted on April 7, 2011

Last weekend I had lots of plans for vegetables.

Vegetables and chocolate cake (random, I know).

But then I got caught up on Recipe Girl’s collection of chocolate chip recipes.

And got busy with the Brown Eyed Baker’s Salted Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.

Oh yes, and I went a little crazy with Peeps.

So vegetables took a backseat, chocolate cake didn’t seem as exciting, and cookies became the new black.

And then I decided to make a third variation of cookies for the weekend.

Thank you, Recipe Girl for inspiration.  I adapted her cookie recipe for my own version of Spiked Mocha Chip Cookies.

These cookies are light but chewy and have a strong mocha flavor with a hint of liqueur in the background.  They were very easy to make and I can see making them for a party to add something unique to the cookie platters.
