Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup toasted almonds, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and instant coffee granules until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toasted chopped almonds.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Mocha Munchies with a cup of coffee or as a stand-alone treat!
