I've made this recipe many times because I used to subscribe to Taste of Home magazine. The chocolate flavored cookies turn out very cute and taste good, too. I don't use coffee because we don't "do" coffee. Instead, I use Roma. It's a coffee flavored drink. These are easy to make and look great on a Christmas cookie tray! Thanks for posting, Marie!

I am married and mother to an adult son, two rescue dogs; a small pug mix and a young Yorkshire Terrier. I prefer baking to cooking. I have a wonderful husband who will clean-up after I do the cooking.
