Another very tempting cookie. If I keep trying all the recipes I will have to step up the exercise program.
ReplyDeleteI made these years ago and lost the recipe. They are delish and I'm so glad to have the recipe again.

Oh, these look so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteooh wow, these look yummy, can't wait to give 'em a try
ReplyDeleteThose are seriously good looking cookies!!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look wonderful...I love all the flavors going on so I've bookmarked this recipe! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI bet if you chopped up pecans very fine and dip the chocolae part it that it would keep it from sticking and would be awesome! Have a very Merry CHristmas!!
ReplyDeleteSaw the picture and thought, hey, I know those cookies! I've made them many times for Christmas and they are wonderful. I usually used chocolate melting wafers to dip them into.
ReplyDeleteWell now...those look familiar! Grin. Yummy. I love your cookie recipes...they always turn out spectacular! Perfect to serve up in trays as you suggest. Chocolate and coffee...whats not to like?!!! Oh my goodness though...you know me and slice cookies....sigh...not so perfect. Grin.
ReplyDeleteThese sound so very very good. I certainly have a great appreciation for all the flavors that are in this and can imagine that when combined they are deeee-lish!! Oh, yes, I will be saving this for future reference and enjoyment!!
ReplyDeleteThey are delish and I'm so glad to have the recipe again.

i had one on tuesday.
ReplyDeleteit was fantastic.
thanks!
Made a double batch of these today and they are DIVINE! I am not a coffee drinker, but I do like coffee-flavored things, so I figured they'd be to my liking. The flavor seemed very subtle when I tried the first one, but that was before they were dipped in the chocolate. After dipping, the flavor really comes out and they're fabulous! I just used Mercken's chocolate to dip them in, and it worked perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteOooh, the suggestion of chopped pecans in the melting chocolate sounds good but I'll bet chopped hazelnuts would be even better!!!
ReplyDeleteMade these last Christmas and will definately make them again this year. Adding the chopped pecans to the chocolate sounds wonderful. Will try them without the cinnamon this time which was suggested by the family.
