Coffee Latte Cookies

Friday! Cookie time! Or actually, chocolate time! It's the annual Chocolate festival at Nordiska Museet this weekend, and I'm heading over there after work today.

I saw these cookies over at one of my favorite baking blogs, Baking Bites. Nicole called these cookies Chocolate Marble Cookies, but after following her suggestion and using white chocolate for the white dough, and dark chocolate for the chocolate dough, I had to go with Coffee Cookies. The dark part is much more intense, and tastes strongly of coffee and chocolate, whereas the white part is rich and buttery, with strong hints of vanilla. Lovely! In fact, so lovely that while normally cookies can live for quite a while in my freezer, these ones somehow disappeared...

Coffee Latte Cookies
Makes about 30

220 g butter, at room temperature
125 g brown sugar
125 g sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
275 g flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
30 g cocoa powder
1 tsp instant coffee
150 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
150 g white chocolate, finely chopped

Beat butter and both sugars until the mixture is fluffy and feels light. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat well. Mix the flour with salt and baking soda, and stir this into the cookie dough.

Now, remove half of the dough and place in a separate bowl. Add cocoa powder, instant coffee and dark chocolate to one of the bowls, and the white chocolate to the other bowl.

Scoop about 1 tbsp of each cookie dough, and place together on a baking sheet. Make sure to leave a lot of room between each cookie - I could fit about 10 on one cookie sheet.

Bake at 175°C for 8-10 minutes.
