Sea Salt Mint White Mocha Cookies
“This recipe came from my mom’s Grandma Alice, who taught her how to bake. Grandma Alice always had a fresh plate of warm cookies on her counter. I learned some of her recipes by heart as a child, and I’ve been making these since high school. They taste like Christmas.” —Kristin Bowers, Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen tips
- For a caffeine-free version, simply leave out the espresso powder.
- Milk or dark chocolate chips can be substituted if that’s what you have on hand.
- Do not remove the cookies from the baking sheet too soon after baking. They are more fragile when they are warm.
