Mocha Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are absolutely a crowd pleaser and serve two purposes. They satisfy the cookie cravings and fulfill your caffeine requirement. When these cookies are dipped in some milk it’s heavenly and out of this world. My husband is a mocha crazy and he purposefully makes a trip to coffee shops almost every day to get his kind of mocha. That is how I came up with mocha cookies so I can pack some for his snacks. I must admit he was absolutely delighted with the surprise and immediately approved these cookies.

Cookies are my weakness and also my favorite baked goods. Whenever I have extra time on hands I make sure to experiment with cookies. However, I try to include healthy ingredients as much as possible. These cookies are my new favorite because I love when coffee is infused in any dessert. I think coffee enhances the flavor of any dessert immensely and makes it more desirable.

I personally used instant coffee powder to make my mocha but you may make your own mocha with your choice of coffee beans. These cookies allow you to be creative with mocha recipe and since it’s made of oatmeal, these cookies are super easy to bind. Even though the batter would be slightly runny but once baked these cookies bind excellently and comes out with a prefect cookie texture.

The serving of these cookies is 1 cookie per person but I assure you that it is impossible to stop at only one. Once you get the taste of these cookies you are gonna finish up all within minutes.

Contributor at Kiipfit

I am Gunjan Dudani from kiipfit.com. In my blog I share healthy vegan recipes that I create in my own kitchen. My fascination with healthy and vegan recipes began over two years ago, when I realized that as a result of being over-weight I had developed certain health related complications. I understood that the one way I could improve my health and set an example for my little daughter to follow was to transform my diet. But I also knew that no transformation in my diet could be sustainable unless what my family and I ate are also delicious and fun to eat. And hence, kiipfit was born! Over the past two years I have gained thousands of followers and my recipes have been featured in some of the leading blogs and food journals of the country.
