This is one of the most delicious cookies I've ever eaten! I used butter flavored shortening (it's what I had on hand) and dissolved the coffee powder in a little warm water (omit the milk). The batter was too loose to roll in sugar. I cooked them as balls (did not flatten) and they spread out to fabulous chewy thin cookies.

my family loved the dough, they practically ate half the bowl just by itself, my brother, who LOVES coffee, said they taste just like a cappuccino. Next time I'll omit the milk and just dissolve the granules in hot brewed coffee, and double the instant coffee too. Overall a nice cookie.

I made a few adjustments in this recipe based on some other suggestions - I used freshly ground coffee (about 3-4 Tblsp) and I used 1 tsp of vanilla and about 2 tsp of coffee extract. The coffee flavor is great, the cookies cooked well and they are soft and chewy.

Excellent cookie. Couple things I tired and wanted to point out. First up the instant coffee powder I think should say "instant espresso" Instant Espresso is very fine like flour and mixes in very well. Regular instant coffee would be too grainy and not in powder form. To test out a few revisions I tried adding some chipped bittersweet chocolate to the batter to give them a mocha flavor. Everyone seemed to like that better. I tried semi-sweet chocolate in some and everyone felt they were too sweet. I agree with another reviewer that less sugar was much better as it is a cookie not candy. I will be making these again!

Excellent! I would recommend adding finely shaved chocolate chips. It really adds a lot to the flavor.

These cookies just weren't what I envisioned. They were ok, but I won't be making again. I found them to be a bit bland.

3/4 cup sugar total is plenty, and it definitely needs more coffee, dissolve at least 3 tablespoons instant coffee in a little hot water so it mixes in better but leave out milk then.11 minutes baked is plenty for a nice cookie. If you leave them in a ball, dip then in sugar they will crack and they are even softer.
