I received this same recipe from a friend years ago, but her instructions differ in that they are baked at 300F for 20 minutes. Tried both and prefer my friend’s method as they result in a cakey cookie-center with crisp edges and very little spread. (Cooked at 375 is still delicious but dry by comparison). Also, the dough freezes beautifully. I shape cookies on tray and freeze for about an hour then store in freezer bag. Bake as much as I want (or as little as I should) from frozen.

I guess we're supposed to guess mixer speed and minutes? Not everyone is an experienced cookie baker so it would be helpful to have better directions. That said, they were delicious and I love the hint of coffee.

I made these as a winter storm treat, and chose them because they didn’t require chilling. I had to make do with what was on hand. About 1/3 of the flour was whole wheat; the rest as specified in the recipe. Excellent cookie. Truly. Needed a little longer than 12 mins. Result was quite sweet, chewy cookies with crisp outside. Next time I would use bittersweet chips or omit the white sugar.

Love these cookies. It’s a denser cookie with half the butter and less white sugar.
