Chunky Mocha Cookies

Submitted by SweetDivaMJ

"Adapted from Taste of Home. We love Chocolate chip cookies around here, so I am always making a different recipe. These cookies loaded with goodies and a soft mocha flavor are very popular. I substitute freshly ground whole grain flour for part of the all-purpose. **PLEASE NOTE**. If you substitute store-bought wheat flour for the all-purpose, you do not need to add the additional amount of flour - just use the same amount as all-purpose."
