Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: About 24

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules
• 1 tsp coffee liqueur, optional (I used Kahlua)
• 1/2 cup superfine sugar (can take regular granulated sugar and grind it up in a coffee grinder)
• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar (I used light brown since it's all I had)
• 1 stick salted butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup pecans (I probably added about 3/4 cup b/c I like nuts!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 baking sheets or line with nonstick parchment. I used my Silpat mats.
2. In a medium sized bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
3. In a small bowl dissolve the coffee granules in coffee liqueur or 1 tsp of hot water if not using liqueur and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the sugars. Add the butter and mix thoroughly until light. Add the egg and coffee mixture and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture, chocolate chips and pecans and mix gently with a spoon until well combined.
5. Place rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20 minutes until set. Transfer to cooling rack and then store in an airtight container once they have reached room temperature.
