Just like my other recipe, this healthy cookie recipe is made with almond flour. Therefore, this cookie is naturally grain-free.
Because of their rich chocolate flavor and a hint of espresso, these delicious cookies are the perfect afternoon pick me up.
Although they are already bursting with coffee flavor, I like to have mine with a warm homemade latte.

Mocha is short for mocha latte which is a coffee drink made with chocolate syrup. Mocha flavor usually refers for anything made with the flavor of coffee and chocolate.
These mocha cookies are made with cocoa powder, instant espresso, and espresso chocolate chips to give them the perfect balance of mocha flavor.

Take your bowl of dough, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350F.

Next, place the baking sheet in the oven to bake at 350F for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes remove the cookies from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
