Cappuccino Cookies

I am suddenly interested in eating coffee while I drink it.  So, not to be confused with my Cappuccino Squares, these cookies may also be a fun experiment for all the other coffee addicts out there.

Cappuccino Cookies
makes about 17 cookies (can be doubled)

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped milk chocolate (Hershey's 1.7 oz)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and coffee powder.
2. In a separate large bowl, use a wooden spoon to combine butter and sugars until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla. Using an electric hand-mixer, combine ingredients.
4. Add chocolate and fold into dough using a rubber spatula. Fold until combined.
5. Cover dough with plastic wrap for 45 minutes.
6. Five minutes before baking, preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheet.
7. Bake for 12 minutes, until lightly browned around edges. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
