It is the richest, gooiest, yummiest use of instant coffee that I have ever tasted! These are a cousin the chewy blondes but witha definite coffee flavor. Also good with ice cream!

Time 45m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts (black)
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 13 baking pan.
  • Melt the butter and brown sufar in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is well combined.
  • Add coffee powder, stirring to dissolve.
  • Let cool until barely warm to the touch, and then beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Sift flour, salt and baking poder together, and stir the dry ingredients into the coffee mixture, the fold in nuts and chocolate.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out with a spatula, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and chewy. DO NOT OVERBAKE!
  • Cool on a rack and then cut them into squares and store them for up to 4 days in an airtight container- if they last that long!
