Taza Mudslide Cookies

Pastry Chef Brian Mercury sources ingredients for his mudslide cookies from Somerville’s own Taza Chocolate. A touch of instant coffee adds a little extra depth in these rich, delicious treats, which will delight your sweets-loving guests. Make sure they don’t eat them all so you can leave a couple out for Santa – and don’t forget the glass of milk.
