    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Mocha Coffee Cookies are exquisite and melt in the mouth cookies. Serve it as a snack or with milk in the mornings.  Recently, I was selected for the Belly Nirvana Campaign by Plattershare in association with Place of Origin Indian Tastes Delivered. I received a Leo Breakfast Blend Coffee Powder and Mocha Chocolate drink powder.

    Leo Breakfast Blend Coffee Powder is in  60: 40 ratio, i.e it is 60% coffee powder and 40% chicory. The aroma is exhilarating and the strength of the coffee is strong. It is made with the finest beans of coffee. The chicory unlocks the flavour giving it a rich flavour.  We liked the coffee and I highly recommend it.

    The Mocha chocolate powder can be used for various purposes. It is ideal to use it in milk. I made a milk shake for my hubby and daughter and they did like it.  It was tasty and flavoursome. Mocha Chocolate powder can be used in baking cakes and cookies. The Mocha powder is unique and has freshness in its taste. I shall definitely order the same brand again.

    Mocha flavour blends well with coffee and makes  a good and unique recipe. The coffee and chocolate medley is simply aweome and I am loving it.  I will be making a few more in the next few days.

    I made  coffee cookies using these two products and it was awesome. The cookies were soft and melt in the mouth.

    Kala chana is dark brown and smaller in size than yellow chick peas. It needs to be soaked overnight for eight hours.

Much as we try to move from our  civilisation, our thoughts will not permit to, we want to continue with the rituals and poojas but we cannot do as much as our parents and grand parents have done. Let’s worship and do in the best possible way. Happy celebrations ahead.

    • Even the cocoa powder has to be sieved.
    • Standing time is important while baking.
