I made these for Christmas using Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookie mix, and Ghirardelli bittersweet choc chips. I bought choc flavored whole coffee beans and ground them myself. I also used regular instant coffee instead of instant espresso. I was a little worried about having coffee 'grounds' in my cookies, but fear not. These are some of the best cookies I have ever made, including many from scratch. Everyone who loves chocolate and/or coffee loves them. And you had better love chocolate! They are decadent. Just the thing when you are really busy and can't spend a lot of time with from-scratch recipes.
I did chill the dough before baking them, as I had so many types of cookies going at the same time, and I like the results that gave me. I used bittersweet chips since I didn't have time to chop chocolate into chunks, and I highly recommend Ghirardelli cookie mix. Try these - you will really love them.

I have made these for two different Christmas parties now, and they have been a big hit. I just used a Betty Crocker cookie mix, and Hershey's special dark chocolate chips. As the grocery store in my little town didn't have anything else. I also used 4 Tbsp of Folger's instant coffee for both the instant and grounds in the recipe If you love chocolate and coffee you'll love these. Even as a non-coffee drinker I thought they were pretty good.

Anyone who has ever tasted these cookies just loves them. I swear by the Ghiradelli cookie in a box mix. I am a baker and as much as it pains me to use mix from a box, Ghiradelli brand is the only way to go in this recipe. I was nervous about the coffee & espresso textures after reading the reviews, so I use 1 cup of dark chocolate covered espresso or coffee beans - this takes care of the 1 cup of extra chocolate and also the coffee. I add a dash of cinnamon, as well. People rave about them about work. Great & easy recipe!!!

These are THE BEST cookies I have ever made! The Kahlua in them is so good! I only made a few substitutions by just using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of bittersweet chunks, and 4 tablespoons of instant coffe granules instead of ground beans plus instant espresso. I don't think the texture of the ground beans would be very good but... GOOEY AND RICH AND DELICIOUS!!!!

I have brought these cookies to two gatherings and it was an enormous hit at both. With the second batch I added an extra tablespoon of Kahlua, otherwise the taste is nearly non-existant. Even with the extra liquor, make no mistake, this is a coffee lovers cookie. I would suggest instant coffee in place of the instant espresso (the recipe says either will work b/c it is less bitter. These were an enormous hit, and are perfect for a potluck or any group gathering.

Made these as part of my Chistmas cookie batch last year. People that don't even like coffee liked them! I used a box mix that already had walnuts in them (to help cut costs and they still turned out great. I also doubled the recipe and used a big stand mixer which couldn't have made it any easier - just drop everything in! Used a cookie scoop so they were uniform in size. Let me just say there weren't many left to add to my Chistmas gift baskets - everyone in my house ate them too fast!
