I have had this recipe for a long time and have been looking forward to trying them. I finally got all the ingredients and whipped them up. They are awesome! I simple and rich cookie, chock full of coffee and chocolate flavors. Yum!

Kahlua Chocolate Chunk Cookies From Rachael Ray

1 pkg dry chocolate chip cookie mix (1 pound 1.5 ounces)
7 T softened butter
1 large egg, beaten
4 T Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
3 T instant coffee crystals
1 T ground coffee beans
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks (recommended: Ghiradelli brand)
4 oz walnut pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place racks in center of oven. In a mixing bowl, make a well in the center of dry chocolate chip cookie mix. Add butter, egg, Kahlua, instant coffee and ground coffee, chocolate chunks and walnuts. Mix well to combine all ingredients into cookie dough. Scoop with a small scoop or by heaping tablespoons and drop cookies 2" apart on ungreased nonstick cookie sheet or sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies in batches 9 to 11 minutes or until crisp and browned at edges. Transfer to wire rack to cool and serve.
