These were delicious! The coffee flavor is really strong but I love that. I think it compliments the semi-sweet chocolate well. I would make these again. I would use different chips to add variation. To cut back on the sharpness I would use white chocolate or something like that. I would also use a raspberry chocolate chip, dark chocolate, or mint chips.

Always a hit when I make them!!! Just be sure to use instant espresso and not instant coffee or the flavor will fall flat.

I just finished making these cookies and i'm someone who loves to take a spoonful of raw cookie dough, let me just tell you, bad mistake hehe. I thought I was going to throw up after doing that. Anyways, after I baked them for 9 minutes and let them cool I ate one and felt there was nothing special at all about these cookies, it was bland and I used every ingredient and brand she did.. One time bake for me

Excellent. Sugar cookie dough is also sticky - so if you are having troubles with the "sticky" dough, then try rubbing alittle shortening on your fingers. Also the colder your hands the less the dough sticks.

The taste of the batter is to die for! But the next day after putting the cookies in Tupperware they virtually fell apart when trying to pick them up. Did anyone else have this problem? My son says this is the best cookie he ever ate. If they would only not fall apart. The cookies are not dry at all , they are very moist and chewy.
