Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F, rack in the middle position.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at 3 minutes on HIGH. Or melt it in a saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.

Step 3

Mix in the instant coffee powder, vanilla, and rum (or brandy) extract. Stir it until the coffee powder has dissolved.

Step 4

Add the sugar, beaten eggs, baking soda and baking powder. Mix well.

Step 5

Stir in the milk chocolate chips. Mix until they're evenly distributed.

Step 6

Add the flour in one-cup increments, stirring after each addition. Mix until the flour is thoroughly incorporated.

Step 7

Form walnut-sized dough balls with your fingers. Roll them in a small bowl with granulated sugar if you decided you wanted them sweeter.

Step 8

Place the dough balls on a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a standard-size sheet.

Step 9

Flatten the dough balls with the back of a metal spatula, or with the palm of your impeccably clean hand.

Step 10

Bake the cookies at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes. Let them cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes, and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to complete cooling.
