The LOST finale was this week and my boyfriend had a couple of his friends over to watch it. I decided to bake something, since everyone can snack on something while watching tv. Ummm speaking of the LOST finale, did anyone else watch it? Too bad we have to wait another full YEAR before it comes back on! What’s with the whole Locke situation?! That really threw me off. I’ll stop myself there, just in case you guys didn’t watch it. No spoilers, here! That’s okay though… Dexter comes back on in fall and will hold us over until then. 🙂 For the finale, I made some chocolate cappuccino chip cookies for the boys.
Whoa.. try saying that ten times fast: chocolate cappuccino chip cookies, chocolate cappuccino chip cookies, chocolate cappuccino chip cookies. That’s a mouthful. Anyways, I was off roaming the aisle at Cost Plus World Market and found these Guittard Cappuccino Chips and knew I had to get them! I looked on the back for their recipes, but none of them really appealed to me. Then I remembered about Guittard’s Polka Dot Cookies I made on the back of their mint chocolate chips bag! Those cookies were good, but the mint chips didn’t really do it for me.. so I used that same recipe and replaced them with the cappuccino chips. Perfect! You can tell from the last picture how incredibly fudgy and chewy these cookies were, my favorite. They were chocolatey with a kick of coffee, nothing too overwhelming.
2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (do not sift)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups (12 oz) Guittard Cappuccino Chips
Preheat oven to 350F
In top of double boiler over low heat, melt semi-sweet chips and butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light. Blend in melted chocolate, then dry ingredients. Stir in cappuccino chips and chill for 10-15 minutes or until stiff. Drop by well-round teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8-10 minutes, cookies will be soft in centers but will harden as they cool.
Adorable presentation! These sounds so yummy!
These sound so good. I’ve never seen cappuccino chips!!
I bought two bags of these chips at World Market also. I’ll have to try out your recipe.
I skipped through your intro…as I was scared of Lost spoilers…lol
The cookies look yummy and chunky, I really wish I could get flavoured chips here in Australia… we always miss out on the cool cooking products.
Your pics are great. These look irresistible.
OMG I LOVED the Lost finale! Seriously wow. Officially the best show EVARRR!
Those cookies look delish and your photos are great too 🙂

Mmmmm those cookies not only sound amazing, they look mouth-watering too!! Thanks for the recipe. Hope you wouldn’t mind but I’d love to direct Foodista readers to your blog. It’s easy, just add your choice of widget and you’re all set!
I like the look of the texture/bump look on the cookies! how?!?
whoa, i’ve never heard of cappucino chips. I have to try those out asap.
I got those Guittard cappucino chips and then the next day my friend showed me this blog…I was so happy to find a recipe to use the chips with because I also didn’t like the recipes on the back of the bag. So thanks!
I followed the recipe exactly except that I only had 1 cup of semisweet chips so I used milk chocolate chips for the other cup. They came out JUST like the pictures and were, in my opinion, the ideal texture and shape for cookies — chewy, not too runny, and not too crunchy. My boyfriend LOVED THEM.
However, I disliked the cappucino chips, personally — I thought it was overpowering. I would probably cup them in half next time, or just try a different kind of flavored chip. Also, in case anyone’s wondering, I made almost fifty “teaspoonful” cookies with this recipe. Again, thank you!
