Listen up, coffee and chocolate lovers! Pastry chef Angela Peterson of Catalyst shares her sweet secrets for turning a café mocha into cookie form. Chopped up pieces of toffee candy (like a Heath Bar) create a crunch, which Peterson says adds “so much texture and flavor to an already delicious cookie.” Eat these treats with a cup of joe or an Americano for a double dose of espresso.
