Dark Chocolate Coffee Cookies

These tempting cookies were born from our road trip last week. We stopped in Greenville, SC to go to Whole Foods (that is dedication people) and I noticed a Coffee Chocolate chip cookie in their bakery section. It was a fun treat to split with the hubby and keep our spirits going for the next 7 hours of driving. He loved it so much he asked me to try to make them when we got home.

I swapped in some large dark chocolate chips which made a big difference and goes really well with the coffee. The cookie we had from Whole Foods used real grounds for the coffee but left a gritty taste, it was a little much for me so I split a little instant coffee which dissolved into the dough, and a little bit of coffee grounds to keep the taste and lose some of the grit. They are the perfect pick me up!
