White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Cookies

December 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

UPDATE:  I made an error on nutritional calculations.  I updated it to be correct now.  Sorry about that.

Hi Everyone and Happy Wednesday!

Today I have for you one of my favorite, latest cookie creations I have ever made!  It is a replica of a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte.  Yup, tastes just like it!  I was shocked when I took a bite!

These cookies are a mix between a brownie and a cookie!  They are crispy around the edges and soft in the middle.  The cookies are made with cocoa powder, espresso and filled with white chocolate chips.  Before baking, I added a sprinkle of a chopped candy cane which gave it the mint flavor and a tiny little crunch in the center of the cookie!  Once they cooled, I drizzled white chocolate over the top.  Holy amazing!!!  Nothing beats a sweet, chocolaty cookie with a tiny candy cane surprise, a hint of espresso and topped with a smooth chocolate drizzle.


I loved these cookies so much, I gave them all to Jenny to take to her boyfriends house.  There was no way I could control myself with them around.  I’m kind of a cookie monster, no control!!!  But now that I have the recipe and it’s pretty quick to make, I’ll probably be making them soon!!  Hmmm, maybe tonight?

The cookies are really easy to make.  I melted butter in a pot, added the sugar and whipped in the rest of the ingredients   Scoop in a well sprayed mini muffin tin and baked for 10 minutes.  You must let them cool completely in the muffin tin to prevent them from breaking.  But don’t let that fool you, these are a pretty sturdy cookie and I think they would be great for shipping!

A sweet chocolate espresso cookie filled with white chocolate chips, sprinkled with candy cane pieces and drizzled with white chocolate. A perfect replica of a White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Latte.
Serves: 24 Cookies
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp. espresso powder
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup egg substitute or 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 candy cane, broken into pieces
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Generously spray mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper muffin cups(spray the paper cups).
  3. In a small bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder and salt; stir with a fork to combine.
  4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar. Let it cool slightly, then stir in egg and vanilla, stir until smooth. Stir in flour mixture, then white chocolate chips.
  5. Portion out about 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup and smooth tops with a small spatula or back of spoon. Sprinkle with candy cane pieces. Bake until just set, about 10 minutes. Let blondies cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
  6. Once cool, drizzle the top of the cookies with white chocolate. I melted my chocolate in the microwave for 10 seconds, stirred and microwaved for 8 seconds, then stir until smooth. Then I scooped/poured the chocolate in to a plastic baggie, cut the corner and drizzled the chocolate over the top of the cookies. Let the chocolate set before touching.

You can sub 1 cup plain greek yogurt for butter, however the texture was chewy and more brownie like then cookie, but it still tasted good!

As I am writing this I want one of these cookies!!   I wonder if I should make another batch?  One thing about blogging, once you make something you eat it and your good!  Then you start to write about it and you want to have it again!!  Darn those cookies!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Maybe you could try coconut oil, or greek yogurt? Hmmm, I think I will try it this weekend with greek yogurt. I actually think that might work, I wouldn’t heat it thought, and I would probably add maybe 1 tbsp. coconut oil to it. I have to try this!!

    Yum! This recipe sounds so delicious, especially for the holidays, probably because it reminds me of one of my favorite holiday drinks! And I love that it’s only 65 calories. Of course, I’d probably eat ten of them! I hope you’ll share this post at our Holiday Cookie Recipe Swap going on now: http://thedomesticatedprincess.blogspot.com/2012/12/holiday-cookie-recipe-swap-week-3.html.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
