Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cream butter, brown sugar, baking powder, instant coffee, and salt, and vanilla.
3. Add eggs and mix together.
4. Add mocha powder and flour and mix until batter is a heavy dough-like consistency.
5. Add chocolate chips and dried fruit.
6. Drop cookies onto parchment paper on a cookie sheet, allowing rough edges. If you prefer, you can roll them into balls.
7. Bake 12 minutes.
8. Immediately upon removing them from the oven, take two butter knives and quickly shape each cookie into a lump of coal, flattening the top and pushing the sides together so the shape is rough.
