Mocha Choc Chip Cookies

Choc Chip Cookies are always a good option.  This is more of an adult version, the mocha biscuit base balances out the sweetness of the choc chips.

I mostly use dark choc chips, however, these are a mixture of milk, dark and white  choc chips. Use up whatever you have in the pantry.

Add some chopped  walnuts for even more deliciousness. These are my favourite but as I am the only one who likes nuts I make half the batch plainchoc chip and then add in the walnuts.
