Easy & really great cookies - from a box!?!?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Anyone who has ever tasted these cookies just loves them. I swear by the Ghiradelli cookie in a box mix. I am a baker and... as much as it pains me to use mix from a box, Ghiradelli brand is the only way to go in this recipe. I was nervous about the coffee & espresso textures after reading the reviews, so I use 1 cup of dark chocolate covered espresso or coffee beans - this takes care of the 1 cup of extra chocolate and also the coffee. I add a dash of cinnamon, as well. People rave about them about work. Great & easy recipe!!!Read more

SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are THE BEST cookies I have ever made! The Kahlua in them is so good! I only made a few substitutions by just using... semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of bittersweet chunks, and 4 tablespoons of instant coffe granules instead of ground beans plus instant espresso. I don't think the texture of the ground beans would be very good but... GOOEY AND RICH AND DELICIOUS!!!!Read more

Excellent for Coffee Lovers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have brought these cookies to two gatherings and it was an enormous hit at both. With the second batch I added an extra... tablespoon of Kahlua, otherwise the taste is nearly non-existant. Even with the extra liquor, make no mistake, this is a coffee lovers cookie. I would suggest instant coffee in place of the instant espresso (the recipe says either will work) b/c it is less bitter. These were an enormous hit, and are perfect for a potluck or any group gathering.Read more
