Chocolate Chip Mocha Cookies – Deliciously soft, thick, and chewy chocolate cookies infused with coffee and studded with chocolate chunks. No chilling required!
I’m all about mocha right now, and not just in drink form. The flavour of chocolate and coffee is incredible in cookies, too. So, today I’m bringing you my Chocolate Chip Mocha Cookies!
Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Mocha Cookies:
- plain OR all-purpose flour
- cocoa powder
- baking powder
- baking soda
- cornflour/cornstarch
- salt
- unsalted butter
- caster OR granulated sugar
- light brown sugar
- large egg
- instant coffee granules
- chocolate chips
These cookies are slightly adapted from my Chocolate Chip Coffee Cookies, my brother’s all-time favourite cookies. I’ve added cocoa powder, and a little extra cornflour for a thicker cookie.
I LOVE cornflour in cookies. It makes them incredibly thick, soft, and chewy without being cakey. You may also know cornflour as cornstarch. 🙂
I chopped up chunks of dark chocolate for these cookies, but you can use chocolate chips!
Thick cookie right there. ↑
So, if you love chocolate and coffee, you have got to try these chocolate chip mocha cookies. My coffee-loving family definitely approved of them, and I have a feeling they’ll be requested just as much as my chocolate chip coffee cookies are. 😉
Try these delicious cookies next!

*Use a coffee you absolutely love to drink! The taste is everything in this recipe. If you'd like a weaker coffee taste, skip the 2 tablespoons of coffee in the dry ingredients.

Unfortunately these are very cakey cookies and not at all chewy. A disappointment, since I had been looking forward to trying this recipe.

Hi Michelle - sorry these cookies didn't turn out well for you!
Too much flour can cause cakey cookies. I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out in grams instead of cups (if you don't already), as it is more accurate, and it's what I do for all of my recipes :)

Yum yum yum!! These cookies are so delicious! Both when cool AND when still warm out of the oven. Definitely adding these to my regular cookie recipes!

Hi! I just made these cookies and measured on a scale. I copied the recipe exactly. But when I took my cookies out they didn’t spread as much as yours did. They stayed flattened some, but still resembled the balls I rolled them into. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!

Do you think replacing the white flour with whole wheat flour would change the taste and texture much? I don’t like baking with white flour and this recipe sounds amazing and i really really want to try it. So I’m curious! Thank you!

Using whole wheat flour should be fine! Enjoy :)
