I am contributor to Life’s Little Sweet and this recipe first appeared on there as Mocha Oatmeal Cookies.
These Mocha Oatmeal Cookies are soft and chewy with a distinct flavor of fresh brewed coffee. These vegan cookies are easy to bake and heavenly for taste buds especially if you are coffee lover.
Mocha Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are absolutely a crowd pleaser and serve two purposes. They satisfy the cookie cravings and fulfill your caffeine requirement. When these cookies are dipped in some milk it’s heavenly and out of this world. My husband is mocha crazy and he purposefully makes a trip to coffee shops almost every day to get his kind of mocha. That is how I came up with mocha cookies so I can pack some for his snacks. I must admit he was absolutely delighted with the surprise and immediately approved these cookies.

Cookies are my weakness and also my favorite baked goods. Whenever I have extra time on hands I make sure to experiment with cookies. However, I try to include healthy ingredients as much as possible. These cookies are my new favorite because I love when coffee is infused in any dessert. I think coffee enhances the flavor of any dessert immensely and makes it more desirable.
I personally used instant coffee powder to make my mocha but you may make your own mocha with your choice of coffee beans. These cookies allow you to be creative with mocha recipe and since it’s made of oatmeal, these cookies are super easy to bind. Even though the batter would be slightly runny but once baked these cookies bind excellently and comes out with a prefect cookie texture.
The serving of these cookies is 1 cookie per person but I assure you that it is impossible to stop at only one. Once you get the taste of these cookies you are gonna finish up all within minutes.

This looks so delicious, and easy to make too! Thanks for sharing. I love to bake but am not that good at it yet, so I tend to stick to simpler recipes—and it’s hard to find vegan recipes that both taste amazing and don’t require a ton of hard to find ingredients.
