Java Chip Cookies

     If you're wanting a simple sweets fix, then here it is. I promise one will not be enough In my case I went ahead and made a GIANT one!). The coffee tasted really strong in the batter (of course, I sampled!), but once baked it actually was pretty mild. It's like a visit to the coffee shop and bakery at once! Enjoy! :)

1 c. (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2/3 c. granulated sugar
2/3 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
2-3 tbsp instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tbsp. water
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. carob powder (or cocoa powder)
1 3/4 c. chocolate chips

     Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl cream butter and sugars until well combined; add egg, dissolved coffee granules and vanilla. In a seperate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt and carob powder. Blend flour mixture into first bowl.  Mix in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Bake 10-11 minutes.
