These cookies were very quick and easy to make. The batter produced a nice thick crisp coffee flavored cookies. I did add additional sugar, personal preference only, maybe my instant coffee was too strong. Next time I make these I will add chocolate chips or almonds. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made for Fall Pac Orphanage 2011.Reply
