Mocha Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and Crisco together. Add in the sugars and cream the mixture. Add the vanilla and mix.

Begin adding eggs, one at a time, mixing well between additions.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, coffee and salt. Whisk together.

Add dry mixture to the butter/sugar mix, 1 cup or so at a time. Do not over mix. Stir in chocolate chips. (Feel free to add all your favorite mix-ins.)

Drop by spoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF 12–14 minutes, until golden brown.
