CHOCOLATE MOCHA CHEWIES

Nothing better than an easy recipe - one of my favorite cookbooks is "the Cake Doctor" - everything is made with a simple box of cake mix!

 INGREDIENTS:
1 pkg devil's food cake mix
1/3 C brewed coffee, at room temperature
4 Tbl (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 egg
1 C milk chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray/grease cookie sheet.
2. Place the cake mix, coffee, melted butter, and egg in large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for one minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Increase the speed to medium and beat for one minute more. The cookie dough will be thick. Fold in the chips until well distributed.
3. Drop heaping teaspoons of dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are set, but the middles are still a little soft. Let the cookies rest on the pan for one minute before removing them to cool.
4. Store the cookies, wrapped in aluminum foil or an airtight container, at rom temp for up to one week OR freeze them, wrapped in foild and placed in a plastic freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw the cookies overnight on the counter before serving.


If you don't have any leftover brewed coffee, add 1/3 C tap water and 1 Tbl instant coffee powder to the recipe instead.
