Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300 F.
Cream butter and sugars till light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well for about another 45 seconds.
Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and coffee together. Add the sifted ingredients into the butter/sugar/egg mixture and mix well.
Stir in your chocolate chips. Form the dough into rather large balls and place it on the cookie sheet, 3-inches apart. Press it down to make a 2-inch wide thick but slightly flat disc.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes on a greased cookie sheet. Let cool on the sheets for about 4 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to totally cool off.
Variations: chocolate-chocolate chip cookies – add 1/4 cup cocoa to the sifted ingredients.
You can also use peanut butter chips, or using the chocolate-chocolate version, Make white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. The variations are endless!
