Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these cookies as gift mixes for baby shower gifts for my sister's baby shower. They were the perfect cookie for my sister because she loves coffee and chocolate. They are really delicious and the instant coffee really brings out the chocolate flavor, rather than tasting like coffee.
