These Mocha Oat Cookies are to die for. Well I think so. Sometimes I need something sweet. I usually like a cup of coffee with my something sweet. I figured why not put the coffee in the cookie. I’ve never had it so I had to try it! To justify having cookies I usually will put oats in it. It makes me feel better. Whatever works right? Hey, that fiber quota is important!
These cookies come out crisp, think similar to chips ahoy but less stale-like. Cookies in this house have to be able to hold up to being dipped in a cup of milk which is why these crisp cookies are perfect in our house. And hey, you can get some fiber in the cookies and a little protein from the milk! That my friend is a win, win.
