I want to try the Chocolate Rolled Cookie recipe from KitchenGifts.com
CHOCOLATE ROLLED COOKIES
1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 Tbsp extra-strong coffee or chocolate liqueur
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
My question is....would it be okay to take out the coffee/chocolate liqueur? Also, have you tried to double or triple the recipe? If so, what would be the changes? Thanks!
I love that recipe but the first batch I made with the coffee I didn't like. Everyone else didn't mind them but the next lot etc... I made I made a little thing of cocoaand a bit of water and a quarter cup of melted chocolate.
So now I omit the coffee and add chocolate but I'm sure you could add creamer like irish cream or french vanilla. I always get bagged out for just guessing some things but cookies and cakes I always write what I've done differently. 
I double this recipe all the time. It fits perfectly in the KA pro 6.
I have made this all ways with coffee, creme de caco, and if I don't use those I use vanilla extract. Vanilla and chocote go perfect together. Just think of when you make brownies. There is always vanilla in there.
Happy baking!
I think you would have to put vanilla flavouring into the royal. The cream of tartar is acidic, and doesn't really work with choc, I'd expect. The royal probably would take longer to harden without it though. Perhaps a little less of the tarter and add some vanilla into it
Hello,
I think Karens meringue powder buttercream tastes lovely on the chocolate cookies.
Here's the link. http://www.karenscakes.com/cookies/recipes_cuticing.htm
She has some awsome stuff on her website and she's a member of CC.

Thanks, Leigh! Does Karen's bc set hard enough to stack or bag the cookies? I'd like to try it but I'm worried that it'll be too soft.

Yes it does! I only use her recipe and I make sure to let my cookies sit out for a full day to harden a little before packaging them. Sometimes I might add a little more (1 extra Tbsp) Meringue powder JUST to be sure if it has alot of detail to it.
