These are HEAVENLY! They are easy to prepare and taste great. I have made them twice already! Next time I make them, I will use half semisweet chocolate chips, and then 1 c dark chocolate chips for the stirred-in portion, just for extra richness! ;-)

My coworkers loved these cookies - I used instant espresso granules instead of regular coffee granules and bittersweet chocolate chips (1 cup) in the batter - I used the semisweet to melt, though. The batter is indeed like pudding, but bakes up beautifully and when they came out of the oven at exactly 12 minutes, I sprinkled granulated sugar on them - they were awesome! Thanks for a great cookie recipe - very brownie like!!!

These cookies are really quick to throw together and taste fabulous! The instant coffee really helps to bring out the chocolate flavor.
