It's Day Thirteen of our 25 Days of Christmas Treats Extravaganza!! Wahoo...we are halfway there. So why not celebrate with a little pick me up. A little latte in a cookie. Oh yes indeed my friends this little chocolate spice gem is filled with espresso and cinnamon, two of my favorite flavors on the planet.
Dissolve coffee granules in vanilla extract, set aside. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs and coffee mixture, mix well. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfulls onto prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart.
