Cookie Mixture:
- Instant coffee granules, dissolved in melted butter
- Granulated sugar for sweetness
- Whole eggs for binding
- Rolled oats for texture
- A hint of salt to enhance flavors
- Pure vanilla extract for aromatic depth

For the Dough:

- Chopped chocolate or chocolate chips for gooey pockets
Additional Touches:

Baking Ritual:
- Begin by melting the butter with instant coffee, then whisk in the sugar.
- Crack in the eggs, then mix in oats, salt, vanilla, and baking soda.
- Gently fold in flour and chocolate without overworking the dough.
- Shape the dough into generous rounds, optionally studding them with additional chocolate.
- Chill the dough to deepen flavors and improve texture, preheating the oven midway.
- Prepare your baking surface with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Space the chilled dough on the sheet, allowing room for spreading.
- Bake until nearly done, then create crinkles with a strategic tap, returning to the oven briefly.
- Finish with a touch of salt and let the cookies firm on the sheet before transferring to a rack.
Enjoyment: Indulge in these cookies once cool, with the contrasting textures of crisp edges and a soft center, and the harmonious blend of coffee and chocolate.
