Make these Mocha Chocolate Dipped Cookies for your Christmas cookie tray! They have just a hint of coffee that brings out delicious chocolate flavor!

It’s not a secret that I love coffee, and if you mix it with chocolate, I love it even more. These Mocha Chocolate Dipped Cookies have a great flavor with a yummy chocolate ganache dip on half! So irresistible!

This recipe calls for instant coffee. I typically use Starbucks Via packets in my recipes, like my Chocolate Layer Cake. It definitely deepens the chocolate flavor. 

I’ve found these cookies are best when flattened out prior to baking. I just roll the dough into little balls, then flour the bottom of a glass and flatten them out on the silpat. 

Here are some other holiday cookie recipes you will love:

• Holiday Ranger Cookies
• Almond and Milk Chocolate Ganache Thumbprint Cookies
• Chewy Chocolate Toffee Oatmeal Cookies
• Peppercorn Chai Shortbread Cookies

Of course, when the cookies are done baking, let them cool then dip them into the chocolate. Sprinkle on the sprinkles, almond slivers or disco dust or nothing at all.
