COOKIES:
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. instant coffee or instant espresso coffee granules or crystals
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semisweet chocolate chips

COFFEE DRIZZLE:
1/2 tsp. instant coffee or instant espressp coffee granules or crystals
1 Tbsp. hot water
1/2-3/4 c. confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat sugars, butter, egg and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.

On low speed, beat in flour, 1 Tbsp. coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake @ 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and edges are set. Cool on pan for 2-4 minutes; remove cookies from pans to wire racks and cool completely.

For the glaze, in a small bowl, dissolve 1/2 tsp. instant coffee in hot water. Stir in 1/2 c. confectioners' sugar, adding more confectioners' sugar, if necessary, to reach desired drizzling consistency.

Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Allow glaze to set before storing cookies in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.

Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
