Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate chip cookies especially home made ones. I wanted a cookie that was a little less traditional, and while playing in the kitchen I came up with this mocha version which really complements the sweetness and chocolate.

1 stick butter
1 oz baking chocolate chopped fine
1/2 tsp coffee (Instant is fine)
1 egg
1/2 cup Splenda blend brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
1 bag Chocolate chips

Melt the butter in a measuring cup in the microwave at 45 second intervals. Once melted add in the chocolate and coffee and stir till they are melted and combined. Pour into a mixing bowl add egg, and sugars. Beat on medium speed till combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and beat with the mixer until it's sticky and combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Spray two non-stick cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Spray non-stick cooking spray into an ice cream scooper (cool trick the cookie dough slides out really easy) and scoop half a scoop of cookie dough onto the baking sheet and release. Repeat till done. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
