Notes
Feel free to substitute milk chocolate chips (or your favorite chocolate chips) for a lighter cookie. You can up the coffee flavor by using more instant espresso powder — a couple tablespoons more should do it!
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also roll the balls into dough and put them in the freezer, then bake from frozen (you'll need to add a few minutes to the baking time).
