Ingridients:

3 ounces (3 squares) unsweetened chocolate
8 tablespoons (1 stick or 1/2 cup) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons powdered instant coffee
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 cups (12 ounce) semisweet chocolate morsels

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the chocolate in a small cup or bowl set in a pan of simmering water, stirring often until smooth. Set aside to cool.

Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and powdered instant coffee and mix well. Beat in the melted chocolate. Stir and toss the flour, soda, and salt together and add them to the chocolate mixture, beating until completely blended. Stir in the chocolate morsels.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes, until they have spread slightly and the tops look dry. Remove from the oven and transfer to racks to cool.
