A touch of instant coffee granules added to the dough.
A Hint of Coffee Flavor
The cookie already has macadamia nuts and vanilla, both tropical ingredients.

The granules are finely ground, and dissolve easily in the mixture.
If you use salted butter, just omit the added salt in this recipe.
Vigorously whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
Beat the butter until fluffy.
Add the brown and white sugars and beat until smooth.
Beat in the egg.
Add the vanilla extract and instant coffee and beat until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients a third at time, mixing after each addition.
When the batter is combined, fold in the nuts and chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
