I might have a problem.
I check the weather. I sometimes watch the news… just for the weather. I’m obsessed with the weather.
See… if it’s raining then I can’t go for a bike ride. If I can’t go for a bike ride then I have to find some sort of other exercise to do to keep my crazy brain from going crazy. If I can’t find another exercise to do then I just end up doing halfass yoga in my living room for like… three minutes, before I get bored. If I get bored then I start plucking my eyebrows and trying on random lipsticks in my medicine cabinet. If I try on too many lipsticks I walk around my house with lipstick somehow all over my, and I really hate when that happens.
… Then the day is over and all I have to show for it is smeared lipstick on my face, the wine I’m drinking in despair, my cat, and episodes of Top Chef and Teen Mom 2. See what I’m dealing with here?
I checked the weather for tomorrow. The weather icons show a sun (promising), clouds (uh-oh), rain drops (craptown) and a thunderbolt (oh, come on!). Seriously?! Who is in charge here?
What am I supposed to do with that!? LipstickWineCatlady is soooo not a good look for me.
One of the other things I do on rainy days (besides being a crazy cat lady) is make cookies.
Let’s be honest… I make cookies almost every day. I need no excuse or water from the sky.
These are just like chocolate chip cookies with white chocolate and spiked with instant espresso powder. Are you with me?
Do you use instant espresso powder? I love it in baking. Instant espresso powder really kicks up the flavor in a chocolate recipe and it’s a great way to sneak in a coffee flavor without crunching down on ground coffee beans. The finer the instant espresso powder is the easier it will dissolve into the cookies. I used a slightly chunkier instant powder and so my cookies had tiny bits of coffee. I loved it. Close your eyes and pretend that the white chocolate chunks are the cream in your cappuccino. Yea. Good.
Cappuccino Cookies
Makes: about 2 dozen cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons instant espresso or coffee powder
1 cup white chocolate chunks
Place racks in the center and upper third of the oven and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside and we’ll preheat the oven after we chill the dough.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and instant espresso powder.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the butter mixture with a spatula. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed until mixture is fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Stop the mixer and add the dry ingredients, all at once to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined. Stop the mixer, add the chocolate chunks and fold together with a spatula until well combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 minutes.
Just before you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Scoop cookie dough by the heaping tablespoonful onto the prepared baking pans. Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container. Cookies will last several days. They’re yummy.

It took me long enough to find this recipe, but now that we’ve tasted these cookies they have become favorites. Coffee and white chocolate play nicely together in cookies!
Julia
So Joy I made the cookies with the addition of cocoa nibs and they were delicious, everyone loved them. I’m happy I have a new cookie recipe to add to my repertoire. Thank you
Kendall
these are THE BEST cookies I have EVER had. Everyone loves them including people who don’t like coffee.
Allison @ bakingyear
These look delicious! I’ve been looking for a cookie recipe that involves coffee and I think I might make these!
AS
Just made these and they were delicious! However, my first batch didn’t flatten as much as yours. I flattened the rest of the batch before baking and that seemed to do the trick. But I was wondering if there’s something I did that kept it from flattening on it’s own? Could it have been my baking soda?
Kasey
Hi Joy! First of all, you rock my socks (and keep me in neverending sweets!). Thank you so much for your humor and all the other little random things you post, they’re so entertaining!
I just made these last night, and while I was putting the first batch in the oven, I couldn’t help myself and snacked on a little bit of the dough. The fact that I didn’t devour the rest of the dough right then and there is proof of willpower I didn’t know I had! What I loved about the dough though was the kick in the pants flavor of the espresso. That taste is toned down a bit in the cookies, which makes my less coffee-loving coworkers happy, but I miss that kick! Any tips for getting it to carry through to the cookies? The first thing that comes to mind is just adding more espresso, but I would imagine it will still incorporate and combine with the rest of the dough to come out relatively the same…
Kiani
Hi Joy! I just came across these delicious looking cookie thanks to the link in your latest cookie post. I was wondering if you could let me know what brand of espresso powder you used? I love that it comes in that small spice sized bottle. I recently went in search of some instant espresso to use in a recipe but could only find huge bottles of instant coffee that cost over $10. Thank you!!
Dev
My cookies did not turn out right. The dough spread out very thin and became one large cookie that tasted burned. Any thoughts on why this might happen? I used instant coffee powder and light brown sugar (instead of regular brown sugar) but followed the recipe for everything else. Is it possible the dough was too warm (I did cool for 45 minutes in the fridge)? I froze a small portion of the dough. Can I bake it directly from the freezer?
Gil
Made these yesterday and they turned out great.
I ALSO forgot the vanilla (doh!) but they turned out really well. Everybody loved them and they were easy enough to make. Def. a keeper, Thank you!
C
I’ve spent the past few days trying to find a recipe for something resembling Hope’s Cookies White Russian Cookies (http://www.hopescookies.com/cookies.asp), and I find them on one of my favorite baking blogs.
Should have known that you would understand the amazingness that is white chocolate/coffee (although Hope’s adds Kahlua, but hey, that never hurt anything).
Thanks so much for the recipe!
sarah
Aww DANG. I’m such a frickin’ robot! I skipped the vanilla and now Im attempting to “sprinkle” it on the already mixed dough (spreading the dough out while also trying to not over mix). SIGH. It smells AH-MAZING. It’s chilling now. We shall see how this vanilla sprinkle technique (patent pending) works out ; ) Using the espresso I got from Enjoy!
Patricia
My cookie dough is currently chilling in the refridgerator. Just realized I didn’t add the vanilla – was only looking at my instructions instead of my pile of ingredients!! Darn it all – I wonder how they’ll come out without it?
Aditi
oh another questn,I looked everywhere but no instant expresso powder available, can I use instant coffee powder. I do hav coffee beans.
Somebody please answer my brown sugar (if demerara sugar can be used intead) query, coz I really wanna make these but I am running outta time.
joythebaker
instant coffee powder would be fiiiine!
Aditi
lol, just read the recipe again and you have given the optn of coffee powder. Stupid me.
I don’t blame you for the ‘fiiiine’…hehe
Pooja Kumar
Aditi, The pains of living in India! I understand! I used Demerara sugar instead of regular (Muscavado) and the cookies came out perfectly well. I just made sure the butter was REAAALLLLYYY soft!
Aditi
I want to make a huge batch of cookies this weekend and i just wanted to know if I can substitute demerara sugar for brown sugar in most of your cookie recipes. Brown sugar is not easily available where I live and the imported brown sugar that is available is very expensive.
kallista
I’ve just made these!! Yummmm… The dough is actually yummier.. I even licked the spatula, the bowl and the beaters! I’m gonna send these cookies to my Mom, she’s gonna love it since she’s a coffee addict.. Thanks a bunch Joy!!
Peter
Just popped a small test batch into the oven then realised that I’d forgotten to add the full amount of flour! Nevertheless, the smell and taste are great… will try again now with the correct proportions!
Ellie
Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I made the cookies recently and loved them!
I love coffee and coffee works wonderfully well in a cookie:)… great for gift giving.
Will definitely be making them again!
Thank you…
Tatyanna
I added an extra egg, some pieces actually look like cookie dough and others are combined but they’re dry
Tatyanna
I tried to make the cookies followed everything to the letter I don’t own a mixer (life of a college student) but my dough won’t form it looks as if something is missing. Please help I really want to try these cookies ;)
joythebaker
you could add the egg white if the dough isn’t coming together. hm… it’s hard for me to know what’s gone awry.
Brenda Erwin
I can’t add anything to the praises of this recipe. A friend from Canada sent it to me, and I’m making them (2nd batch in 2 days) for a coworker’s birthday today. Only thing, though – you don’t say when to add the vanilla. I put it in with the eggs (wet ingredients). The dough is chilling right now, and I’ll have nice fresh cookies for the office. I’ll be popular today!
Rujuta
I made these!!! The flavor is brilliant….cant stop eating ’em
Cecelia
These are amaaaaazing! I couldn’t stop eating the dough!
Dharma Diana
These came out great! Everyone in my house liked them, including me :D
Kate
It’s midnight on the east coast and I just pulled my final batch out of the oven… I’m going to be up all night because I can’t stop eating these!! These are my new favorite cookies and I’ve made a looottt of cookie recipes. Thank you so much for sharing, I’m bound to impress people with these!!!
Giovanna Lever
Fabulous cookies. My friend has made them and I have had 2 already today!
Silvia
I will try these one, they look and sound divine!
dev
These cookies were amazing! I made mine with Nescafe instant coffee (from India – it’s just better there for some reason) and semi-sweet chocolate chips as I am not a fan of white chocolate. I also made them bigger and thicker, just because that’s how I like my cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
penny
What do you do with all of those de-larptious leftovers??? Do you feed your friends and neighbors?
Just curious! :)
p.s. I love your blog. You are as equally creative with your writing as you are with your baking!!!! When will your cookbook be coming out?
sherrie
Do we need to sift the flour?
joythebaker
whisking it will be fine, but sifting sure can’t hurt!
Tania
OMG, how awesome are these, thank you.
Dagmar
I love these cookies, have made it 10 times now. When my daughter comes at night to pick up the kids first thing she does is look in the cookie jar to see if there are any of these cookies. You can’t just eat one. I’ve also passed out the recipe to several people. Everyone loves these!!
Jenn In Taiwan
I’m a total fan Joy the Baker! I will be making this batch of cookies as soon as I send off this post. I can almost smell how good they will be! Cheers!
Polly
These. Are. So. Good. Too good. And while I am deeply grateful to you for posting this recipe, my jeans may be in touch shortly with a few grievances… :-)
Rebecca
I use international delight instant cappuchino in brownies all the time. AND almond extract.
it’s my favorite.
Meki
I think I’ll try this! Sounds yummy. Looks yummy. And it’s Capuccino!
JVDingleton
I made these today. They are super delicious. Rich, chewy, perfect! Thank you for another wonderful recipe Joy!
Kelly@RahRaw
Wow,….cappuccino, chocolate… I was hooked just by the mention of those two! Bookmarking this recipe! Not good for my trying to lose weight, but maybe I’ll make it as a special occasion cookie so I don’t eat too many!
Sherrie
Oh my goodness~~~ these cookies are the BOMB!! I tried them with the white chocolate and hen made a batch with semi sweet mini chips… Very addictive…On the Top 10 Favorite cookie list in this household!!
Amanda G
Absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend refuses to drink coffee (I tell him daily that he is crazy) but he said these may just change his mind! Thanks Joy!
Anna Aug
Brilliant! Already looking forward to the next time I make these cookies – a huge hit in our house. Thanks, Joy!
Andrea
I made these, and they were delicious! I like that they’re a bit different from the typical cookie. Also, I added a touch of cocoa powder to the instant espresso (less than a tablespoon, lest they dry out).
Chasity
I just made these and they are amazing! I did realize however when I was about to refrigerate them that I forgot to add the vanilla. I re-read the recipe and realized that you forgot to add that to the “action” part of the recipe… I laughed though cause I always forget to add stuff just because I don’t pay close enough attention to the recipe but it wasn’t my fault this time ;). So ya know though, they still taste pretty darn good without the vanilla extract!
Chasity
Crap, just realized someone else pointed out the lack of vanilla… Sorry! There are worse mistakes a person can make then forgetting vanilla that’s for sure :).
Aroma y Cocina
They look wonderfully!. I am planning to spend the first free time I get enjoying your cookies with my familiy.
THanks.
Begoña
johanna
Joy,
I made these and took them to work to share with my coworkers, I live in Utah so work with many persons who swear off coffee for religious reasons. I’m not one of those persons, but put a disclaimer on the box of cookies nonetheless “Warning, contains coffee.” Everyone (and I mean everyone) had at least one. I feel a little guilty but I know that it means that the cookies were “dang” good.
Thanks for another terrific recipe.
-Johanna
Chasity
Hi Johanna,
I lived in Utah for 8 years and could never swear off coffee but can appreciate the LDS’s commitment to not having any. These cookies are truly that good, I’m not surprised everyone had to have one!
Lucia
Hi! Your cookies are so beautifully round! What kind of cookie scoop do you use? All of the ones I have tried get clogged and stuck. Thanks!
Eliz
Hey Joy,
I realized that you didn’t have a place to add the vanilla in the recipe. I figure after the eggs but it may be an add-in….right?
:)
joythebaker
totally right. my bad!
Randi Lynne
I made these last weekend and ate quite a few before going on an afternoon bike ride. I think I ate more than I burned. :) These are definitely on my list of favorite cookies!
Karissa
You are genius! These are just incredible, especially right out of the oven :)
P.S. Everything I’ve tried from your index is fabulous!! I’ve made your pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, jalepeno pepper jack scones, cheddar black pepper biscuits, and these–your blog makes me loove to cook! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Abby
YUM! I made these over the weekend and they were so tasty ;) Well done !! I hope to blog about them later in the week :)
Jenny
These cookies are fantastic!
My batter didn’t look as wet as yours and the cookies weren’t as flat but still amazing!
Eliz
I make espresso every morning in my Moka Express, a habit I picked up in Italy where my apartment came with no coffee maker just this odd looking kettle on the stove (was happily surprised when I found out it made the best espresso) anyways… this means I always have finely ground espresso on hand and was happily surprised to find this lovely little recipe containing everything I currently have in my cupboards. Also white chocolate in these cookies are like the while little clouds in my coffee, I adore.
Perfection.
Sally
You add the vanilla with the eggs, right? It’s not mentioned in the recipe!
katie
OK, finally made these cookies, after having printed it out several times. . . . Had to find the espresso powder at the store, which is not difficult except for the remembering. Also used this as an excuse to get a cookie scoop on Amazon. Not a fan of white chocolate, so we used semisweet chocolate chunks (Nestle) . . . and the cookies are beautiful AND tasty! And even better the second day, for breakfast at 3 a.m., according to my husband who gets up super early and eats cookies for breakfast. Thanks for this recipe! I’d like to try it with mini chocolate chips and cocoa nibs, maybe?
Taz
oh yum, these look delicious!
elisha
Question about the instant espresso powder: is it (essentially) just dark-roasted coffee ground finely, or is it more of an “instant-coffee” type product? Would it work just as well to use some good quality coffee ground finely? I’m a coffee lover so I don’t want to mess this up! Thanks readers!
And Joy…have to say, your black-and-white cookies and veggie chili (the best!) are now AMAZING additions to my diet…thanks so much for the love and inspiration!
joythebaker
it’s more of an instant type product. it dissolves into the liquid.
also.. i’m so glad you like the chili and cookies! rad!
Sandy
I am almost 50 & I have made a lot of cookies. I was SO impressed with this recipe- everyone loved these cookies the taste & the texture were fantastic. Did not have white chocolate so I used semi-sweet-…still wonderful. Went out & got some white chocolate and am making my second batch tonight! THANK YOU!
joythebaker
i’m so glad this recipe was such a hit for you. i love it!
Mars
Joy – you are a god among men! These are absolutely wonderful!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. They turned out perfectly and I can’t wait to share these (well…maybe I’ll share…these are so great that I’m thinking sharing may be overrated..)
Shaheen {The Purple Foodie}
Espresso cookies with whie cholate sound fanstastic. I’m just about coming around to using coffee in my bakes, and this one looks like it’s right up my alley.
Erin
Hi Joy!
Just pulled these cookies out of the oven and they are wonderful! I don’t care for white chocolate, so I substituted chocolate chips and I didn’t have espresso powder, so I substituted coffee granules. You always come up with the best recipes!
Jen
Delurking!
Hey there fellow baker,
Random: The lipstick thing…I rarely wear makeup but got it done by a “professional” for my prom (totally embarassing) and when I looked in the mirror I almost cried. All I could think was ‘I look like Boy George!’ Aghhh!
Anyway, I love your blog. Awesome recipes + awesome writing.
Jen
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer
I like getting caught in the rain on my old bike sometimes, just not lighting… But make sure your back before Teen mom is on ;) These cookies sound right up my taste bud alley, coffee and chocolate.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
Joy, I made these cookies the other day, and they were spectacular! They are my new favorite cookie! :)
Alice
I made these last night and they blew my head off. Awesome recipe! Mine don’t quite look as lovely as yours, but I subbed 1 cup of flour for 1 cup of wholemeal so I think they came out darker. Eating some now with my morning coffee & had to tell you how amazing you are. Can’t wait to make more of your recipes!
Tessa
These sound like a fun twist on chocolate chip cookies! Yum!
Jen
Hi Joy,
I made these cookies over the weekend, talk about delicious, OMG! I stumbled upon your blog on one of the fashion blogs, you are amazing!!!! I’m now an official Joy Junkie :)
mende
joy – i made these cookies last night and they were so very delicious! thanks so much for posting another great cookie recipe. :)
Jenny
Thank you for the smile today. I’m making a blogpost of “happy” sites for readers. May I give them a link to yours?
Jenny

I like coffee anywhere I can get it :) I think these with the new(er) Starbucks coffee ice cream sandwiched in between would be the.best.treat.ever.
Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food
These look and sound amazing. Can’t wait to try them!!
Stiffler
Hello.
I made these cookies two days ago and took them to a party. They were well received.
I used a fine espresso powder and white chocolate chips – very tasty.
Bluej
those looks soo yummy! I love your blog
Beth
these are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!! i made an ice cream sandwich by putting a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two of them. it was heaven in my mouth. Also, i made your peanut butter banana bread yesterday (with chocolate chips, obviously) and it was incredible. thanks for two more great recipes!!!
Lisa
These are sooo good! I love knowing that your recipes are always reliable, Joy, and they’re always so yummy!
Vicki B
You are so funny! But seriously, you deserve your own cookie brand line. I mean really, these have to be pure genius.
Jess
I love/obsess about the weather too!! So much so I have an occasionally hilarious London based blog dedicated to it. It was a present from friends keen to see my weather musings leave the dinner table and move into a more receptive space. Enjoy! http://jesskeeleydotcomweatherwatch.blogspot.com/
A food/weather post, looking at what kind of weather inspires what style of food, is imminent. It’ll be called “I’m having a love affair with this ice cream sandwich”…
David Willis
I think any kind of weather is good weather for cookies. Those look awesome. I think I might give them a try tomorrow. It is a shame my wife doesn’t like coffee flavor…I may just have to eat most of them myself. (Ok, that is a fib. I will take them to work on Monday and not gain 5 pounds from cookies this weekend…but it is a nice thought.)
Laura (Alwaysroom4dessert)
Does rain explain my cookie obsession?! I live in Vancouver B.C, it rains 300 days of the year which means I bake a lot of cookies and eat A LOT of cookies. These look fabulous!
srs1972
Roses are Red
Violets are blue
These cookies are awesome
JoytheBaker is too!
Cookie party was crazy success! Hail be damned!
Sonia
A cookie exchange party? This time of year? Cool! I am glad to know that is allowed.
Kathryn
I have my mise en place all ready to bake these off tomorrow morning before joining friends for brunch. I figure that the addition of instant espresso makes it okay to eat these before noon. Am I right?
joythebaker
totally right.
Kathryn
They came out beautifully and were a big hit at the brunch table! Such a nice, almost cozy flavor to the cookie. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Calantha
I’m convinced that all of us who are active out-of-doors are weather-watching fanatics. I refresh the weather every hour… eyeing the wind, in particular. I’m addicted.
I also love that you gauge the weather by the icons. So do I. Who needs to read the little description? It’s probably wrong anyway.
And those cookies look fabulous. I just ate a bowl of raw cauliflower. Not the same.
Sherry Greek
Joy this is everything I love in a cookie! I will be making these right away. And I refuse to share!
Brian
These look incredible. I’m glad I have espresso powder in my cupboard right now. Thanks.
Rachel
These look amazing, and I can’t wait to make them for everyone at work! Do you think the batter would freeze well? Like if I were to make the batter today and bake the cookies tomorrow? I know some cookie recipes are sensitive to freezing..I’d hate to ruin them!
joythebaker
i think this batter would freeze beautifully!
keren
joy, these sound so goooood (:
i’m going to make them today
i have a few questions though…i really would like to make them chewy :
if i substitute the regular flour with bread flour or melt the butter or add more
brown sugar (with decreasing the regular granulated sugar)… will
any of these methods work? will they be more chewy?
Aniela
These were lovely :) I made them with semisweet chocolate chips instead of white and added 2 tbs vegetable oil as I didn’t have enough butter, but they still turned out amazing. Thank you so much!

Wait, you’re in California, right? So, you can’t ride your bike about 3 days out of the year… :) I’m in the high desert of SoCal, just moved here from Chicago, and didn’t expect as much rain (or snow) as we’ve had in the last few months! Weather is so unpredictable!
These cookies looks amazing. I have some espresso powder to use up, so these are on my to do list very soon! And, I lead a bunch of college students that are great as guinea pigs who I think will love these!
Pure2raw Twins
Amazing! Love the flavor of these cookies :) So good!!!!!
Sonia
So… My two favorite things, chocolate and coffee. If I put it into an equation it looks a little like this: Chocolate + Coffee = Mocha = YUM :)
Chihiro
Dear Joy, I think you’re hysterical. In a good way of course.
I know it’s terrible to say so but my friends from LA are for the first time this year able to flaunt the gorgeous NYC weather to everyone in CA. So sorry!
But cookies look gorgeous. I love white chocolate
Steph
Yum! I made these this morning when it was looking dark and dreary outside. They are delicious! I just used the instant coffee I had on hand and they came out great.
Cindy
Ok…I could just about sit down and eat the entire bowl of dough right now. Yummmmm…Yes, yes I could. Step away from the dough, please.
Jen
Hi Joy, Love, Love, Love (did I say it enough :). I live in Los Angeles area too and I have contacted and have gone to a couple of markets (even Surfas) to puchase the instant expresso, no luck. Can you suggest where I can purchase this. I would absolutely love to bakes these cookies this weekend for a wonderful friend. I know these will put a smile on her face.
Thanks so much!
Elisa
Thanks for the recipe, Joy! My secret ingredient in chocolate fudge is expresso powder.
Bonnie@WhatAboutPie
I’m thinking these are pretty amazing! I love the idea of the coffee flavor in the cookie…yum! You cracked me up about the smeared lipstick, wine, Top Chef and Teen Mom 2! You are so funny girl!
brilynn
My Dad keeps a weather book and records the daily high, low and weather conditions, EVERY DAY! It’s in my blood to be a compulsive weather checker… Cookies are awesome as usual!
Natalia - a side of simple
I would like a stack of those immediately :) Cold glass of milk not optional.
Rocky Mountain Woman
I am all over anything with expresso powder…
Will try them this weekend, it’s supposed to snow and when it snows I bake cookies for me and my neighbors…
Clara Artschwager
Joy- I love the flavor combinations in these cookies. They’d be excellent as biscotti too I bet! Thanks so much for sharing.
joythebaker
i like the way you think.
brianne
these cookies are tasty, Joy. the espresso powder is a genius idea. have a good weekend!
Gen
They look absolutely delicious! I have a thing with the weather too, I hate rain, you can’t go out for a run, it’s all sticky on the ground. When is spring coming around?
Dagmar
I made these yesterday with my granddaughter and they are amazing. She packed a bag of them when she was ready to go home.
Akinaj
They are goregeous Joy! I made a batch last night, but was too impatient to chill them, and they still turned out fine. I think my tablespoons (well cookie scoop) is smaller than your, because I ended up with a good 3 dozen!
Have frozen two dozen raw cookies for a later day, as a single (sadly without cat) lady can’t eat quite that many cookies on her own! Plus, I like having cookie dough in the freezer for emergencies!
Saee Koranne-Khandekar
Really pretty cookies, those!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
These cookies look spectacular! Anything coffee flavored is a winner in my book!
Libby
Hahaha halfass 3-minute yoga… story of my life. These cookies sound super yummy scrumboes. I want.
DessertForTwo
If you can do yoga alone for 3 minutes, that’s 2 minutes longer than me! I have to be in a class to stay motivated. It’s awful! And I used to teach yoga, so you would think that I could keep myself motivated but no! I would be dreaming up cookie recipes too :)
I love the side-by-side photo of the cookies! Wanna talk about the difference between the two? Is it a photoshop button or 8?
Happy Friday :)
Pittipat
If I make cookies as much as you do, I’d probably be huge by now. I don’t know how you do it. Can I be your neighbor instead?
Gina
looks so good!
Gabrielle
Coffee in a Cookie? DROOL.
Katie@Cozydelicious
Cookies every day… can I move in? I could eat cookies every day, probably for breakfast! They have espresso powder in them, so these cookies would be great for breakfast, right?
Pots and Dishes
This cookies look amazing. I’m trying real hard to cut down on my sweet but these cookies makes me wanna turn into a cookie monster! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
MaryBeth
Made these cookies tonight…they are yummy! I used Starbucks Via packets I had on hand and subbed in mini chocolate chips, also on hand. Let’s see when the caffeine kicks in. Joysthebest!
joythebaker
excellent! i’m so glad you like them!!
Jorie
I love your blog and your crazy cat-lady cookies!
Kat @ Cupcake Kat
These cookies sound just like a delicious latte. You get your coffee and cookie all in one!
I really wish the snow were gone here so I could go for wonderful bike rides in the sun. Guess I’ll just have to curl up with my cat and eat cookies!
Beth
If you’ve got a Mac you so should download Swackett from the iOS App Store. I think you’d love it.
Beth
PS: These sounds aaaamazing.
joythebaker
sweater jacket or coat!? ohmagoodness.. obsessed.
Nicole @ The Dirty Oven
I also question how one finds instant espresso powder…it is an item that is easily found or should I just ask my local (AWESOME) coffee shop to grind some for me.
The rain has made me crazy as well…no running so lots of half as works out at home… “Jane!!!!” “Can you hear me…. I have leg warmers and a headband…Bring it!”
Love your blog and your voice…..just awesome!
joythebaker
i found my instant espresso powder at the 99cent store. weird… right?
Nicole @ The Dirty Oven
Yes, very weird…99 cent stores are awesome. You just never ever know!
Rachel
So yummy!
Denise
I enjoy your blog and your querky personality. I mean that in the nicest way! I made these cookies for dessert to go with some amazing coffee I bought from Dean’s Beans. WOW! Everyone loved them.
joythebaker
you made them already!!! dang!
Cathy
Crazy cat ladies unite!!
lauren
these look Amazing!!! I can’t wait to try them, but where do you get instant espresso powder? I’ve looked everywhere! Can you use regular coffee espresso just ground fine?
Kaila
You should be able to find instant espresso powder in most grocery stores by the instant coffee and coffee beans. I would recommend not using regular ground espresso as many people say it doesn’t dissolve and adds a grainy texture.
Hope this helps a little!
hannah @ pickled sweets
i don’t drink coffee often but i do like the punch espresso powder gives to dessert!
Emily
Being stuck in the rain stinks! We’re so fortunate to live in CA though-we’ve been spoiled the last couple months with such perfect weather!!!
Started reading the recipe and was having deja vu. Just made your peanut butter pecan biscotti yesterday on my rainy day off from work. The beginning of the recipe is so similar! awesome. I think I may have to make these this weekend. Do you use Via from Starbucks for your instant espresso?
Katrina
These cookies look and sound lovely!
Billie
These look delicious. definitely want to try using instant coffee in my recipes. I’ve used it once in a rich chocolate cake and it really added depth the the flavour. Thanks for the tip to put them in cookies :)
ps I’m the same with the weather, except its still summer here in Perth Western Australia so we haven’t had any rain in ages! As soon as it starts getting cold again I’ll definitely be back in the kitchen! At the moment its been way to hot to stand next to a hot oven.
Sheena
Cappuccino in a cookie? I’m in. They look fantastic!
Jenn
amaz-za-zing
Emma
I too obsess about the weather… and go to my favourite weather site most days.
Love the flavour in these cookies! Cappuccino is a perfect flavour for cookies now that I think about it, nice work. Also, I just love your little kitty ?
Emma
aargh. The question mark is supposed to be a heart symbol, not sure what happened there!
caroleena
Had to laugh… my husband is addicted to watching the weather. We live in Arizona. It’s either really hot, really, really hot or hotter than h**l. Except in the winter, when it’s either sunny or raining – like, he can’t figure that out? Anyway, I bake all the time,but excessively in the winter. Brownies, cupcakes, cookies, bread. Oh, and soup. Espresso powder is awesome in all of these (except soup…) Great post, Joy & thanks!

Dear Joy – I love your website. Love your recipes! I printed out this one above and it didn’t say when to put in the vanilla extract. I am guessing it is when you add the eggs. Just wanted to tell ya. Keep baking girl. You are awesome! Making them right now!
Hilary
I am totally with you on these cookies….and on needing no excuse to make cookies of any kind :)….I’ve never found instant espresso powder…so I always use instant coffee whenever a recipe calls for it.
michelle
These look great. I use Turkish instant coffee in chocolate recipes, I bought it by accident but it works great once you add a couple tbsp of hot water and let it sit for 5 minutes then add it to the wet ingredients.
Leah
These are in the oven as I type. I substituted the white chocolate chips for crushed chocolate covered espresso beans. My husband will be so happy. We are coffee lovers. Pretty much anything coffee We love to try. Thanks so much for the new recipe. Your blog is great!
Crystal - The Best of Thymes
Sweet Jesus these sound good. And, they look so perfect! Promise mine will look that good?
S.
Can’t wait to give these a whirl. Coffee flavor + Chocolate is always a winner in my book!
Latika
Such gorgeous photos! I love the bright yellow cup – so pretty. And…should I be ashamed to be admitting this: I’d be able to eat that stack of cookies in one sitting. And I wouldn’t even go for a run afterwards.
Anne @ Baking Me
These look really good. I have never had coffee in cookies before which is surprising because I am a coffee fiend.
Oh and I think being a cat lady and wearing lady of the night lipstick while drinking wine is completely acceptable behavior. I’m just saying…
Wendi
I am seriously ALL over this recipe…SOON! I am an early morning runner, and have been relying on a weather app to get the current temp….that hasn’t worked out too well a couple of times when it has misled me, and I dressed thinking it was 49 out, only to get out there and find out it was only 22degrees! I am going to start doing the “real feel” weather check and get up out of bed and run out on my deck to make sure…I think that is the only way!
Catie
Do you have a favored brand of instant espresso powder? I’m scared to just buy any old bottle!
srs1972
I watched Top Chef all last night, too. Too weird. I didn’t pluck, but I did wash the dog. Stupid, I know. Like washing the car, then it rains. It’s not raining today. So, fire up your bike and bring me some cookies. I’ll drive you to Sephora and we’ll get some new lipsticks for tomorrow. Maybe some 4 inch heels for your new profession. One time I bashed up a truckload of TJ’s chocolate covered espresso beans to use in place of choco chips. NOT GOOD. I’m a little sorry I used the last of my instant espresso for tiramisu last week. I’d better make out my list and run down to the store before the rain comes. These look like cookie party to me, thanx!
Stephanie L.
You’re not alone Joy! I’m obsessed with the weather too…and I look forward to trying the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Carol
Love this recipe.We are big coffee lovers here.Cookie form will do me just fine!!!By the way,my daughter is a forecast fanatic too.We don’t bother with the news anymore we just ask her about the weather.If she doesn’t know the answer,she’ll find it for you pronto!;)
elizabeth / sophisticated pie
ok…i might relate a little too much to your “no bike ride, no other exersize, halfass yoga for 3 min in the living room” routine. yes, i might just be the same way. sadly, though, i dont have a cat, so cant share in the cat lady experience. i can relate to the baking of the cookies… and these look oh, so delicious!
joythebaker
your site is cute!
Elle
Thanks for the great recipe and beautiful photos, Joy.
Marcella
Joy the baker, I think I am in love with you. P.S. Do you think I can use a little coffee liqueur instead of the espresso powder?
joythebaker
coffee liqueur will add too much moisture to the cookies. you might need a different recipe to incorporate the liqueur.
When Pigs Fly
Somehow I see myself putting dark chocolate chips in instead of white ones. But, that’s how I roll. We have sun and 40 degrees. People are partying in the streets here. Baking cookies will have to wait until the temps drop over the weekend.
Rita
Oh I have those days, but mine end up being a turn on the TV, wander around the house, check face book, open the refrigerator, check face book, wander around, check face book kind of day…On a side note….I must have these cookies. The instant espresso is calling me from the cabinet as I type.
Kate
These are now stuck in my brain.
Espresso powder!
I don’t know whether to curse you or thank you…but I’m sure they’ll be popping up on my blog soon in some fashion as a direct result of a much-needed, cognitive-dessert-dump. That’s a good thing, so no worries.
Dessert. Yum.
You’ll be either cursed ….or thanked. It will be truly sincere either way. ;-)
The Food Hunter
I’m so with you with these.
Sharlene
Oh baby come to mama! These sound like the perfect way to cure rainy weather blahs!
Mia Dube'
It is raining big time here at my house, so I decided to stay in today. I saw this recipe and thought, I must make those! Dough is in the fridge and I am not sure if I can wait the 45 min. suggested before baking! tick, tock………… Thanks for the recipe!!!!
donelle
Argh- i HATE the bad weather and how it ruins glorious outdoorsy workouts…you totally have to check out bodyrock if you’re looking for a workout that’s going to keep you motivated when you can’t ride your bike. when i can’t run outside that’s what i do =) one of those workouts totally justifies baking up cookies afterwards!!! and you’re lucky your cat even allows you to attempt yoga in the house. my cat (aka evilmonsterbeast) likes to try and kill me while attempting yoga so I have to run away to a room far from his run-around-my-feet antics!!! ps- i obvoiusly looooove your site and am super stoked to try out these white chocolate espresso cookies type a-sap.
Chez Us
I am sitting here in my kitchen, wishing it was not pouring out; because I would be running to the market to pick up the goodies to make these. Perfect day for staying in and baking!!
Mary at n00bcakes
I’ve been looking for a recipe to add coffee flavoring to…this one sounds like it. A question for you regarding cookies: what size scoop to you use for these? I think I have a medium-to-small-sized one at home…should I procure a larger one to get cookies the size of yours?
Thanks, Joy!
Judy
For people who don’t like coffee (and that’s putting it mildly), is there another substitute for the espresso powder? Something that would make it equally as decadent?
Kareene
Man, just what I needed today too… I feel like baking and didn’t know what…. Thanks crazy cat lady that we all love around here !!!
Jessie Heninger
What kind of instant espresso powder do you use exactly. My sister and I have looked all over for instant espresso powder and all we can find is instant coffee. Are we just missing it, maybe if we had a brand to look for that would help.
Elizabeth
I had another recipe that called for instant espresso powder. I looked in all the fancy grocery stores in Portland–and finally found it at Winco. (If you don’t know, this store is not fancy. This is a giant store that caters to people who will bag their own groceries and wash their own vegetables to save money. And bulk foods rule for bakers!) The brand I bought is Medaglia D’oro.
Ali
Is there a brand of espresso that would recommend over another. I never know what I am looking at when I get into that aisle!
Kelli @ The Corner Kitchen
You totally just made my day with these cookies!
Jessica @ bake me away!
Cappuccinos and cookies are two of my favorite things. Yes, prease.
Jilly
Oh my. This is most delectable and dangerous blog in the world. I made your chocolate chip molasses cookies the other night and my boyfriend ate twelve of them yesterday. TWELVE! I’m terrified to make these in case they are equally amazing…
Elizabeth
Those cookies look postively perfect
Steph F.
Must make these this weekend! pronto.
It’s completely gorgeous outside right now in LA and it’s suppose to rain again tomorrow and saturday. what the heck?
I miss riding my bike too. boo!
Jaclyn
totally obsessed with instant espresso powder. i really should be buying it in bulk. these cookies look righteous, and i’m definitely going to have to try them. yummmmm.
Alison
Yum! These look sooo good. I’ve heard the Barefoot Contessa rave about adding instant espresso to bring out the flavor of the chocolate but I have never tried it. Thanks for the inspiration – I will definitely be trying these.
Crossing my fingers for a sunny day for you and me… though it is supposed to snow in Seattle today :(
Natalie
Joy — love your blog/writing and recipes! Like yourself, I have a degree in English/Creative writing and I LOVE to cook/bake/experiment. I don’t however like working at the current 9-5 desk job I have, which is really getting in the way of my love for the kitchen. I aspire to write cook books but see it as wishful thinking. Reading your post today made me wonder, what do you do to make money? Bc if it has anything to do with this blog, cooking, food photos etc .. please tell me how to get into this business. I live in Boston — moved here from Florida (don’t ask why bc I’m now freezing). A fresh 24 — teach me your ways! Thanks! And I’m making these cookies this weekend!
sheila @ Elements
Your cookies look awfully tempting!! I love anything related to espresso!
Taking walks in a light rain is something I enjoy. Perhaps you might. :)
Brittany
These look divine! These might have to be the next recipe I try…yum!
A Bowl Of Mush
Wow these look gorgeous!!
Scarletta @ Scarletta Bakes
My days sometimes live and die by the weather as well and it is a serious issue. There are only so many hours I can spend trying on all my jeans, then trying on my shoes with my jeans to see which combos work best, then organizing my jeans and shoes, then getting distracted by my dog, who wanders into my kitchen, which makes me want to bake some bread, which means I end up baking bread, which gives me an opportunity to spend time thinking about the fact that I spent another disjointed day doing very little, all because of the rain.
I clearly need to either live in a bubble or get a scheduling app or both.
jen @ the baked life
that sounds like every single saturday I’m home alone, although sub the dog for two cats.
Sarah
I had to laugh at this post because I basically do the same thing when I can’t go outside for my daily walk….I go insane (Mines more of a watch Hulu, clean, bake thing). And then I put on my 10 minute Pilate tape and say oh well good enough. Except sometimes I just can’t stand it and i will go outside in anything- even a Nor’easter (Oh Maine winters you are just so wonderful)….
Random thing- Lately I have been on a dried fig kick- like I am obsessed- I could eat five billion in a day…. Any recipe ideas for these?
Thanks for the amazing post!
joythebaker
deep fried figs!!! oh man! figs are my favorite thing ever. i need this in my life soon please.
Wendi
Seriously…figs??? I saw that, and I was like, “what? I just saw a recipe that called for figs…what was it , what was it…oh *flip* a homemade pizza recipe with figs as one of the ingredients!” Now, I just have to remember where I saw it…LOL
Sarah
Perhaps Fig, Goat Cheese, Prosciutto Pizza! I made this the other night…yum. figs.
Rebecca in CO
Okay, now I have a visual of you that I will never forget! Baking the cookies would make me even more obsessed about watching the weather because those cookies look delectable. I’m certain that I wouldn’t be able to stop after eating only two cookies.
Yaima
Ohhh though I was the only girl who cooks when Im bored, for distraction, love your blog is my cookingfavouriteblog ever
Emma
I too am obsessed with checking the weather so I can go out for a bike ride or run. But being the fool that I am, I still go out even when it’s raining cats and dogs. I know, I’m mental.
The cookies look great. They’re going on my to do list!
jen @ the baked life
Come to Vancouver, it rains everyday. Maybe that’s why I have to make cookies everyday.
There’s nothing wrong with being a crazy cat lady, you can bake to make up for it. And if it’s not lipstick stains on your mouth, it’s wine stains. Hey, at least the cats don’t judge.
PaulaMc
Oh that’s just funny — “cat’s don’t judge.” So true!
Hannah at FleurDeLicious
try dating a weatherman. you’ll get so tired of hearing about the weather that you won’t feel a need to check it ever again. problem solved!
also these look yummy :) instant espresso is to baked goods kind of what salt is to any food.
Yum Yum Tables
Looks yummy…
laura @ a little barefoot
these cookies sound so delicious i might cry. it’s been one of those mornings.
Sasha @ Global Table Adventure
*hugs*
Rachel
I’ve always wondered if instead of buying instant espresso power, could I just grind up some coffee beans really really fine? Or is that just totally wrong?
joythebaker
i haven’t tried this! if you do…. let me know!
Rachell
I’ve done this (I manage a bistro and have access to a commercial grinder) and it works really well! I love the grit of coffee in my cookies (or biscotti, brownies, cinnamon rolls etc…) but go as fine as you like. Usually, I just add it to my sugar and butter while they’re blending in the mixer. Super yummy.
joythebaker
sounds delicious!
Nicole
Hi Joy,
Somehow I am very slow and just now discovered your blog and I am in love! I spent most of my (work) day scouring your recipes and laughing in my cube to your Jill & Joy videos. Don’t tell my boss. I just wanted to tell you that I’m an enormous fan and you’ve inspired me to not only bake more, but to take better food photos.
First recipe I’m going to try is the caramel pudding. If only I had a sloped pan. I’m thinking a wok? I don’t know.
Thanks for brightening my day with your posts!
Jess
The addition of coffee to chocolate baked goods is phenomenal.
Angharad
Love, love, love, love, love! I drank instant coffee growing up (I’m from England….real coffee didn’t catch on until, oh well, nevermind) and any excuse to have it in my house I will take! Love the idea of these cookies and love just adding instant coffee mix and not having to MAKE espresso for them (lazy). Deliciousness, thanks!
April
These must end up in my tummy by the end of the week. Must. They look amazing.
Theresa
mmmmm sounds so good. Cant wait to try it! I have some of the Starbucks Via instant coffee, I think im gunna make it with that.
Seanna Lea
I want to eat these so badly, but if I make them they would all be for me (the husband doesn’t like coffee). I wonder if ground chickory or something similar would work in place of the espresso powder.
Shannon
I’m pretty sure we’re kindred spirits except I’m EyelinerWineCatLady

I am with you!!
Joy….thank you for reminding me on a regular basis that life is a sweet, wonderful, magical thing.
Melissa Lewis - Midwest Magnolia
Just what I needed to get my day started off right. This look YUMMY! Can’t wait to try out this recipe. I also let put this on my blog today and sent them over here to check out this yummy post! Thanks Joy:)
Michelle
So when I can’t get outside and play, because it is too cold or wet I get all itchy and twitchy. I usually bake bread, it helps…
Apron-Clad Warrior
I SO can relate to EVERYTHING you mentioned only I would be the crazy dog lady…..I try on hand lotions, surfed HUNDREDS of new food blogs and I fooled myself that making a LOW FAT cheesecake for the Old Guy was acceptable. Oh, I added berry sauce (90 % sugar that really helps the low fat designation!) Later I even had a piece and guess what….. I HATE CHEESECAKE!
Thanks for your blog that keeps me sane from frigid winter!
why w
I’m going to make these cookies tonight. The smell of cookies is fabulous!
As for the lipstick, just watch out if you open the door to a visitor. I might be speaking from experience but I won’t tell!
Ashley
Ha! I was just about to type something into google and I forgot, as I do, what I wanted to know… so I typed in you cause I always find nice things here… it was the weather!!! I forgot I wanted to check the weather! so yeah… thanks for writing up a whole post just to remind me… you’re nice.
Mama Cissy
Are you kidding me? I just licked the monitor! I will definitely make these!
Jackie
I love your recipes, your cookies, your cakes and everything in between. You r my inspiration!

Kim
Joy,
Wow these cookies look amazing. Reminds me of a yummy cake I just made for my hubby’s bday.
Esther and Hannah
Yummy looking cookies! WE LOVE anything with coffee in it, and will try these soon. We need to eat the other cookies we have on hand first though;-)
We also hate it when it rains as we go biking for exercise too……..I’m glad you found something else to do with your rainy day!
brandi@BranAppetit
I love using instant espresso in cookies! This might be one way my husband would like white chocolate chips, too.
K&B
I finally found someone who tries on lipsticks when get bored! I completely understand what you mean by “LipstickWineCatlady” (except that I have a dog and prefer Martini). Anyway, these cookies are lovely!

These look amazing!! I can’t wait to try them out :)
contessa
This looks fabulous! definitely try this soon.
The Blue-Eyed Bakers
We’re sure you look positively lovely with all the lady of the night lipsticks going on…it’s like 1 million times more fun to bake cookies all dolled up, right? Um and these look divine. We’re instant espresso junkies.
Stephanie Rose
hey i could have these instead of coffee in the morning. why not?
Holly B @ Recipes from a Normal Mum
I thought I was the only person who over plucked their eyebrows on rainy days. You know you’re in for a long night when you set about your legs with the tweezers out of boredom.
Enid
These look too good not to make the very next really cold day. We have wicked cold up here in Canada. My mouth is watering right now.
joythebaker
wicked.

Espresso and white chocolate would sure chase away the rain clouds for me! Great cookies, Joy :).
Kim
I’m from Quebec (Cananda) and I know what you mean about being obsessed by the weather… Here we are all obsessed about that… I like cookin with instant espresso powder, it boosts the flavors to another level… These cookies looks so darn good to me….
Jessie
AHHH perfect. i am constantly drinking espresso. need these cookies to accompany!

Rain always makes me want to bake cookies! Espresso sounds like a great way to make cookies that are acceptable for breakfast:-)
Anzelle @ Scrambledpancakes
These look amazing! I made some chocolate-expresso shortbread a few weeks back that reminded me of how much I like coffee-flavoured baked goods. These are so getting baked on Monday (my baking day).
Jonesta @ FiveCourse
It is a pleasure to come to your blog and see what you are baking. Thank you for great ideas and inspiration. The weather is the best part of the news, it sinks your soul or makes you flourish. Isn’t it true?
Daria i Jarek
why did I come here… I want some cookies now… =)
… and it’s not raining here on an island… brrrrrr…
homegrown countrygirl
Oh dear. These cookies look fabulous. Thank goodness it’s supposed to rain here today because I want to make them.
coffeeaddict
Dear Joy,
this is absolutely brilliant!!! I’m beating myself over with a stick right now, because in all my baking days it never occured to me to use instant coffee. I’m a disgrace to my screen nickname ;-)
Sally
HA HA, you really make me laugh!!! I’m also (nearly) a crazy cat lady….only have 3 of my own…but have a cattery here at my house – so I have foster kitties in my spare room or some random cat somewhere it generally shouldn’t be most of the time :)
Sending you lots of sunshine (AS WE GOT WAAAAAY TO MUCH AT TH MO!!!) from beautiful Cape Town (South Africa) as well as smiles while you eating your cookies (or biscuits as we crazy people here call them) or riding on your bike, jittering about with the thunderbolts or dodging the lightning perhaps ;) tee hee ENJOY!
notyet100
u r inspiring me to bake these,…;-)
Paulette
Here us my problem when it rains, I cook, bake and then eat too much. But the nice thing is that I get to experiment with recipes, lots of recipes. I also get to look for food blogs like yours and get to cook, bake, eat and try more recipes. Hey life isn’t perfect I still have to work out after all this excitement on rainy days. Paulette
LucyLizzard
Oh dear, if I only baked when it rained I’d be in a heap of trouble! Here in Las Vegas we have less than 10 days of rain a year!! Am making these tonight for a very boring 4-hour meeting tomorrow :-)
Meera
These look great. Will have to make them soon.
PS I always check the weather as well…
Raspberry essence
it seems really good!
Akinaj
Okay, now I need to make these when I get home today. You are an evil catlady!
Three-Cookies
Reading this blog makes me crave. Few days ago for the first time I made cookies using coffee and chocolate and make double chocolate coffee daim cookie. They are really addictive and irresistable. Did you manage to contain your willpower?:)
Mish Mash
These are fabulous! I’m so definitely going to bake these. My boyfriend and I both love love coffee. And whilst I have a sweet tooth, he doesn’t So I’m going to swap the white choc chunks with dark choc chunks – the only type of chocolate he eats! I’m salivating with just the thought of these cookies! Thanks Joy for posting the recipe. :-)
PS: I’m obsessed with the weather as well. If you lived in Wellington (New Zealand), you would be too. Its not unusual to have 4 seasons in one day! I check the news, internet, radio and even txt for weather reports. Sticking my arm out of my window to get a ‘feel’ sometimes works too – so that I know whether I need a cardigan or jacket.
Magpie
I love adding coffee pwd to my chocolate pudding, mousse, cake..really love the coffee chocolate combo, but never thought of adding it to white chocolate.Must try!
Celia
These look yummy!
Silvia
I just love this little addition of coffee, I will try them as soon as possible, but I still have so many cookies left to eat, luckily some friends are coming over for coffee in a few minutes!
