Coffee cookies with Mocha frosting

CAcableGirl2 — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 16:07:03 GMT

This is my mom's recipe and just delicious! I could eat them fresh or even frozen. You can add nuts and/or raisins or not, they are good either way - a soft cookie. I usually make a double batch and freeze 1/2 for later.

Coffee cookies

1.5 cup brown sugar

1 cup soft butter

3 eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda

4 tablespoons hot strong coffee

2.5 cup flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cloves

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

1 cup raisins (optional)

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time beating after each. Dissolve baking soda in hot coffee (OK to make coffee with instant coffee/I use one tablespoon instant to 4 tablespoon hot water).

Add soda/coffee mixture to butter/sugar mixture. Beat well.

Sift, measure, and mix dry ingredients. Add to coffee mixture gradually. Add nuts and raisins.

Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Frost with mocha frosting when cool.

Mocha-Chocolate Frosting (will make enough to frost a 9" cake)

6 Tablespoons cocoa

6 Tablespoons hot coffee

6 Tablespoons soft butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups sifted powdered sugar

Combine.cocoa and coffee, add butter and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add sugar gradually until of spreading consistency

@CAcableGirl2 Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I'm not the greatest baker in the world so I have a question.

When you put them on the cookie sheet....each cookie is 1 tbsp of dough? Or more?

@cindyNC Yes, that should be fine, honestly, I don't measure, I just use a big scoop from a teaspoon and plop it on the cookie sheet. No rolling or measuring required!

Thank you. I will definitely make these. Maybe use some chocolate or caramel chips in place of raisins.

@CAcableGirl2

This looks so delicious. I think i would try using instant coffee dry and add some kahlua to the icing. Then I would have my private moment!

Thanks! I Love Coffee treats! One question, ( because I'M such a stickler for directions it stops me in my tracks sometimes) The 2.5 cups flour. Is it sift the flour then measure 2.5 cups? or measure 2.5 cups THEN sift? ( see what I mean? )

These sound SOO good!

Re: Coffee cookies with Mocha frosting

@candys mine As for sifting the flour, I can't even remember, as I've probably done it both ways before since I've probably made these over 100 times. Most likely, it's supposed to be measured and then sifted with the other ingredients.

Good luck, you will really like these cookies...and the poster who mentioned Kalua....what a great idea!

Well, @CAcableGirl2 , I made your wonderful cookies today, and even Mr. Picky, my son, loved them. They even taste good without the icing on them, sort of like perfectly rounded ginger bread cookies. I wil definitely consider adding some Kahlua to the icing recipe the next time, just for fun.

@Jersey Born So glad you posted to tell me that you and family liked them!

I have to admit that I've been too lazy to frost them at times and we ended up eating all of them plain.
