Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies
“The coffee flavor in these reminds me of my family’s favorite Caramel Cream Cake which we referred to as Coffee Cake. The combination of coffee and chocolate is divine.”
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp soda
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp cooled, double-strength coffee
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks
- 1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour and soda; set aside. Beat margarine and sugars in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Blend in coffee, egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended. Stir in chocolate chunks and walnuts; cover. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls (or drop them by rounded teaspoons) and place 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks to cool. About 5 dozen cookies.
