Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, coffee granules or espresso powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, beat the melted butter and both sugars until they are fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla and blend well.
Pour in the coffee liquor and stir until combined.
Add the flour a little a time and mix until you get a dough. It's a little dry at first and if you think its too dry, add a little coffee liquor 1 teaspoon at a time mixing well between additions.
Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, roll dough into 1" balls and place on a non-stick baking sheet about 2" apart. Sprinkle the tops lightly with sprinkles.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the middles are still soft.
Remove from the oven at about the 10 minute mark if possible. Do NOT over bake.
