Chocolate and Coffee Whole Wheat Cookies

Ok, I cheated... I made cookies WITHOUT my girls, today! I am feeling a wee bit guilty. We started out making them together, but then we got distracted by lunch, and the next thing you know it was rest time! (And, let me tell ya... Mama needed a break!) So, I finished them myself. And, they actually didn't complain! It was just my maternal genes that made me feel guilty, I guess!Anyway, I decided to branch out and try something totally new. I found a recipe for "chocolate coffee whole wheat cookies." Interesting....
I learned not to judge a cookie by its title. They were SO yummy! I brought them to my MOPS leadership meeting tonight, and they were gone!

Alright... I will share the recipe! Even if I do have to type it by hand. :)
