What Can I Make with COFFEE?
I’d drink just about anything if it had coffee in it. I’m a coffee addict.
If it has coffee beans somewhere on the label, I’ll buy it. I drool over coffee recipes.
So, creative moms, what can I Make with COFFEE?

Here is a cookie you might like made with coffee and cocoa. They are cute too.
Coffee Cocoa Buttons
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp instant coffee crystals
1 tbsp hot water
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
In a large bowl cream shortening with brown sugar and add egg. Disolve coffee in water, add to mixture then and cocoa and flour gradually. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate dough overnight. Pre-heat oven to 350. Roll dough into balls and flatten with a glass. Cookie should be about 2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Make holes in the cookies using a plastic straw (you can make buttons with 1 or 2 holes).
Bake for 8-10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Cookie will be slightly firm.

Sorry everyone I’m new here and forgot this is a drink section.

Kelly, you did it perfectly. This is “What can I make with it” and the “it” in this section is coffee.
Your ideas are wonderful. Thank you so much for contributing!

When I have left over coffee - I make a fun coffee jelly treat. I use the left over coffee and mix it with unflavored gelatin and when it firms us, you can add whipped cream, some liquid flavored creamer adn sugar water. It’s easy to make - non-fattening too!

Believe it or not….you can spread used coffee grounds in your garden as a natural way to eliminate snails and slugs! Forget those nasty chemicals!

Coffee will darken and shine up brunette hair. You just use it as a rinse after shampooing, leave on for a few minutes in a shower cap, then rinse again. It dyes the hair temporarily just like it stains your coffee mugs!

Some people swear by coffee enemas as a detox method, but I’m not sure I want to go there! It does seem like it would work though… coffee irritates the colon, making you “go”. LOL

Thank for this Yummy & Fun Site. We roast our own coffee at home. There is NO COMPARISON to home roasted coffee! Order raw beans from Sweet Marias for the best coffee from all over the world.
I wish someone had a really good Strong coffee scented candle. I sell Mia Bella Candles & we have a White Chocolate & Coffee but it smells more like WH Choc than coffee.

Hey, I came across this blog today and I really like the concept! Personally I’m not a huge fan of coffee but I do sometimes add just a little bit of cappuccino to my hot chocolate and it adds a fun flavor.
Thanks for posting! I’m definitely coming back and gathering ideas with you!
