Welcome to Our Sunday Café, we are pleased you stopped by for a visit. Today we are offering another delicious recipe from our kitchen. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did…
It is a bit ironic that I am sharing a delicious cookie recipe, that was developed for freezer storage. After many years, our freezer is actively dying. This is a change from the slow death process it had been showing, where it never cycled off and the high temp warning light and alarm were a constant reminder that doom was pending.

Should the old freezer in the garage sigh her last sigh before then, the food is frozen solid and will last until it can be transferred over to the new freezer. I know one thing for certain, I do not want to be without a freezer, ever. Small batch cooking is so much easier when you have a freezer for storage. With just the two of us, we enjoy very healthy meals, with homemade food stashed away, ready, quick as can be. Plus freshly baked treats, with a delicious recipe like this one.
Whole Grain Mocha Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
inspired from: Oatmeal Cookie Dough for the Freezer
makes 4 packages
1 1/4 c butter (2 1/2 sticks)
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 t salt
1t vanilla
1 egg
1 T water
1 - 2 T instant espresso powder - for strong coffee flavor use the full measure
1 1/3 c whole wheat flour - pastry grind
2 t cinnamon
1 t soda
2 T dry cocoa powder
3 1/2 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c chocolate chips
1 c walnuts
Beat the butter and both sugars until creamy, add egg, vanilla, salt, water, and espresso. Beat well.
Add the whole wheat flour, soda, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Combine well, add oats. When evenly mixed add chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix well.
Divide dough into 4 portions, pack into a mold, press down, wrap completely, turn out. Store in a labeled freezer bag, freeze.
To bake, remove from freezer and allow to thaw on the counter, 30-45 minutes. You may also remove the night before and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Cut into 12 pieces and bake in a 350-degree oven 13-15 minutes or until done. Let cool on the pan 3-5 minutes, move to a cotton towel or brown paper to finish cooling.
Enjoy!
