- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbs instant coffee granules
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tsp sortening divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars, coffee granules, and salt until light and fluffy; gradually beat flour into creamed mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-in. cookie cutters. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Notes
Coffee Shortbread
You'll be remembered for these cookies when you serve them for a morning coffee or at a gathering. Melted chips drizzled on top make them look fancy, but they're so easy to make.
