Mocha Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
These mocha oatmeal cookies are a dream if you’re a fan of coffee and soft, chewy cookies with a bit of texture. They’re easy to make, rich with mocha flavor, and have just the right hint of oat crunch. I made these for a casual afternoon treat—but they taste like something you’d pay for at a café.
This recipe is also perfect if you’re looking for a coffee-flavored cookie without cocoa—the instant coffee gives it bold flavor without overpowering sweetness.

Wonderful cookies and great combo!

I made these last night. The texture of the cookies is great, but man… it’s like eating coffee in cookie form. I think Ill add chocolate and molasses or chocolate chips to balance out the coffee buzz next time.
Glad you tried my recipe 🙂
Do they have to be quick oats, or can they be regular oats?
You can use rolled oats but the texture will be chewer and may take longer time in baking. I never tried rolled oats in this recipe.
