Mochaccino Sparkle Cookies

Recipe Introduction


I’m always on the lookout for cookie recipes that are sturdy enough for packing and shipping. Many of my family members live out of town, so when I need to send some homemade holiday sweets their way, I want to be sure everything arrives in perfect shape.

I started making Mochaccino Sparkles a few years ago to send off to family, and they were an instant hit – chewy, fudgy chocolate cookies with a background of coffee and spice. By Karen

List of Ingredients




2/3 cup (11 tablespoons) butter, at room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups cocoa powder, sifted
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
1 cup plain yogurt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sanding sugar or granulated sugar

Recipe



Beat butter in a standing mixer bowl on medium-high speed until light, about 1 minute. Add sugars, cocoa, espresso, baking soda, spices and salt and beat until combined. Beat in egg whites and yogurt.

Lower the mixer speed and add flour in 1 cup additions until just blended – do not over mix. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator until the dough is easy to scoop.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop balls of dough (I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon size scoop), roll them generously in sanding sugar and arrange on the baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies in batches about 12 minutes or until edges are just firm. It’s okay to under bake middles slightly if you like a more chewy center. Cool on pan for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool.
