Coffee Chip Cookies

I really like this recipe because it makes a soft chocolate chip
cookie and they are easy to store and freeze well.

Ingredients:

1 c. shortening
2 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c. boiling water
2 T. instant coffee granules
4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
4 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a
time beating well after each addition. Combine water and coffee; set
aside. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda: add to creamed
mixture, alternating with coffee. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Refrigerate 1 hour. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto
greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until
golden around the edges. Remove to wire racks. Makes about 3-4 dozen.
I do not use a greased pan, I use parchment paper (it works great).
