Crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside, these mocha-flavored cookies from Pamela Jessen in Calgary, Alberta are the perfect treat for chasing away winter doldrums. Why not invite a friend over some snowy afternoon to share a plateful and a cup of coffee?

  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons baking cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/3 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips
  • 1 ounce milk chocolate, melted

Directions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in coffee granules until dissolved; cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the sugars, egg and vanilla.
  2. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture and mix well. Stir in toffee bits. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray.
