1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coffee
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs
3 tablespoons coffee
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Combine flour, chips, cocoa, ground coffee, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine sugar, eggs, coffee and vanilla.

Add wet mixture to dry mixture and beat on low until a dry dough forms.
(if you need more moisture, add a little more coffee)

Split dough in half and on a floured surface shape each half into a log about 15 inches long.
