Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

I haven't tried this one yet either. I like coffee flavored things, but I'm not sure I want to mess with my favorite cookie

Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies


3/4 c blanched slivered almonds
1/3 c instant coffee granules
2 tbsp hot water
2 2/3 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, softened
1 1/4 c white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 eggs

1 Preheat oven to 350º

2Toast almonds in oven for 10 minutes or until brown.

3 Dissolve coffee in 2 tablespoons hot water. In a separate small mixing bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt.

4 Beat butter and sugar in an electric mixture at a medium speed until fluffy. Pour coffee, vanilla and eggs into the butter mixture; mix well. Reduce mixer's speed to low and slowly pour flour mixture into the butter mixture.

5 Fold chocolate chips and almonds into the dough. Drop dough by teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 3 inches apart.

6 Bake for 10 minutes.

I'm going to try this sometime soon. I baked cookies today, so it won't be for a couple more days but I do have a stash of instant coffee.
