Cacao Chocolate Chips Cookies with Vanilla - preparation

This easy recipe will give you a nice batch of chewy and flavorful cocoa chocolate chip cookies you’ll absolutely fall in love with. They are based on beautifully delicious Zen Spirit cacao powder for some extra chocolaty flavor and the smallest amount of instant coffee for some extra aroma.
