My daughter loves the subtle coffee flavor in these soft cookies, says Maurane Ramsey of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Now that she's away at college, I send her goody boxes with these freshly baked treats inside. The recipe makes plenty for her to share with her friends. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup boiling water |
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine water and coffee; set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with coffee. Stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
