Chocolate Mocha Cookies



Afternoon pick me up? I always need one, don't you? It baffles me how some people have so much energy all the time, they're like little energiser bunnies, always go, go, go. I used to think maybe its the food they eat but you know what I think its just the way they're programmed.
If you're like me and need a pick me up or suffer from three-thirtyitis and need something to get you through the rest of the day, well at least until dinner, I've got the thing for you. I have combined all the wake me up foods into one cookie, coffee, chocolate and sugar. Drum roll please.........
Mocha Cookies. They're soft and gooey, just the way I like my cookies. Be warned they do have a bit of a coffee hit though.
Enjoy xx

  5. Hi Sophia

    OOOO such a wet dull day, your cookies will certainly pick me up. Again have been out and about had the coffee but again nothing to match your fab combo out there.

    I for one would love a cookie shop along the parade!! But Melbourne would love you as much.

    1. Hey G,
      I think you need to make a huge batch of cookies and take them with you :) I'm sure the shop owners wouldn't mind :)
