  • “I have been making these cookies for Christmas for many years. We love them. I was about to post the recipe when I saw that Tonkcats had already done so. Thanks.”

  • “My DH thought these were the best of the best!! Double chocolate!! he said, and I must say they smelled out of this world!!Even though I can’t eat them, with a reaction like that from DH they deserve at least a 5*!!I got 46 cookies and I used veggie shortening,I will be making these again, before Christmas unless I can find a hideing place!!!than ks for posting.”

  • “My husband would give these a 5, I’m sure, but my issue was HOLY COW they are so SWEET!I had a sore mouth after eating two.They were super-easy and fast to bake.NExt time I think I might reduce the amount of sugar (maybe to half) and up the nuts, but I’ll chop them more finely next time so they mix better through–Lots of my cookies turned out to be walnut-free (and I love walnuts).Thanks for the really interesting combination of flavours!)”

  • “These were great, and so easy! I also just brewed some coffee because I didn’t have the instant, also I just microwaved the chocolate chips for 45 seconds. Thank you for this delicious recipe”

  • “I added the Mocha Walnut cookies to our Christmas cookies list this year, and my husband nearly finished them off all by himself. When he asked if we could have these year-round instead of just at Christmas, I knew we had a winner! I didn’t have instant coffee, so I used brewed some extra-strong coffee and used that. It seemed to work fine.”

  • “The staff at my wife’s school loved them. but a stack of chocolate cookies, an inservice meeting first thing in the AM. Hardly a fair test. I used the Nestles Mocha syrup instead of instant coffee. “
