A Chocolate-ing we go! I swear I never get tired of Chocolate. Chocolate is my sanctuary, my holy place, my retreat. And would you believe? I definitely found me some delicious ‘sanctuary’ with these Ultimate Soft Chocolate Drop Cookies.

OMG! It’s like biting into a fudgy, soft chocolate cake-like cookie, loaded with rich chocolate chips and an enticing, luscious chocolate mocha frosting to die for!

These were one of my favorite cookies over Christmas. One of my friends at work brought some in with some with peppermint frosting and I found out, it was his grandma’s recipe. And these were very much like hers which is exactly what I was hoping for.

I don’t know, but these remind me of chocolate velvet, because they taste so soft and moist. These drop cookies just melt in your mouth, with or without the frosting. (just letting you know!)

But that frosting, oh my gawd…That smooth, creamy, decadent chocolate mocha frosting is such a perfect touch of flavor.

You can substitute milk for the coffee, if you can’t have it or simply just don’t like the taste.

These Ultimate Soft Chocolate Drop Cookies are so good and I cannot wait to make these again. Here’s the recipe!
