Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 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

Method

  • 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!
