Chocolate Coffee Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly grease cookie sheet.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup light brown sugar-packed

1 egg

2 tablespoons water

Combine the shortening and brown sugar, blend in egg and add water.  Set this aside.

1 1/2 cup flour {I used whole wheat but all-purpose works just as well}

2 teaspoons instant coffee granules

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine dry ingredients.

Add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture mixing well.  Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup raisins.

Pinch off about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, flatten slightly and place on cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes.  Yields approximately 30 cookies.
