Coffee Cookies!

What could be better than drinking coffee?  Eating coffee cookies!  I don't know about you, but I couldn't start my day without coffee.  Sometimes (most of the time) I wake up in the wee hours of the morning and because I know a cup of coffee is waiting, I usually hop out of bed.  Which is a good thing because I get a lot done before 9:00 a.m. 

However, I'm usually ready for lunch at 9:30. 

It's been awhile since I've made mocha cookies and the last time I made them, I didn't have this really cool rolling pin.  Thanks to my daughter knowing what I love, I've got it.

Espresso Chocolate Truffles!

Want a fun way to get a double whammy caffeine fix?  Add it to chocolate and by chocolate I mean Chocolate Truffles.  The most time consuming part of this project was driving all over trying to find chocolate covered espresso beans, maybe I should have made my own.  Hmmm, have you ever made your own chocolate covered espresso beans?

 

Of course they are not your ordinary round, rolled in cocoa powder, truffle.  These were whipped and piped and served in a hand made candy wrapper.

Starbucks!

I don't know about you, but I'm hooked, addicted or what ever you want to call it, on Starbucks.  It's the reason I find it easy to get up in the morning AND sometimes the reason I can't sleep at night.  Every morning it's ready to go at the push of a button, in the dark and with my eyes closed. 

 

Today, I decided to share my love of Starbucks with you and host a giveaway with creations to look, taste and smell like coffee.  Not to mention the gift card and mugs.
