Jeanne Lemlin’s recipes have been noted as bold and gutsy. Where else can you get a chocolate and caffeine fix all in one place? Crispy chocolate chip cookies are made even more divine with the addition of coffee right into the batter.

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 package (8 ounces) semisweet chocolate, cut into chunks
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
