Espresso Chocolate Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet. 

In a bowl, cream together a cup of Butter and 1½ cups of Sugar until light. Beat in 2 Eggs, one at a time, followed by ½ cup of Cocoa Powder,  ¼ cup of Instant Coffee/ Espresso powder and a tsp of Vanilla Extract. Mix ingredients for 1-2 minutes, or until completely combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually blend in 2 cups of All Purpose Flour, a tsp of Baking Soda and ½ tsp of Salt until no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Stir in ½ cup  of Semisweet or Bittersweet Chocolate Chips. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and drop onto prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 11-13 minutes, until cookies are set but still soft. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 3½ dozen.
