Ingredients
  

For the Iced Caramel Macchiato:

  • 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk whole or your guilt-free alternative
  • 2 tbsp caramel sauce plus extra for unnecessary drizzling
  • 1 cup ice to pretend it’s refreshing
  • 1 tbsp vanilla syrup because plain coffee is sad

For the Mocha Cookies:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder dark, because we’re sophisticated
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt balances out all the sugar—allegedly
  • ½ cup butter softened, for maximum chewiness
  • ½ cup brown sugar because depth of flavor matters
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature, because science
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee for that extra kick
  • ½ cup chocolate chips because why not?

Instructions
 

For the Iced Caramel Macchiato:

  • Brew espresso or coffee and let it cool slightly.
  • Fill a glass with ice because melted drinks are tragic.
  • Pour caramel sauce over the ice like an artist creating a masterpiece.
  • Add vanilla syrup and milk, then stir like your life depends on it.
  • Pour the coffee over the top dramatically—don’t mix, just admire the layers.

For the Mocha Cookies:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In one bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Pretend you know what you’re doing.
  • In another bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy—like your post-cookie belly.
  • Add egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee. Stir like your reputation depends on it.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, then fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop dough onto the baking sheet like cookie royalty.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes or until they look just underdone (because chewy cookies > crunchy sadness).
  • Let them cool—if you have the self-control.
