How to Make Spiced Mocha Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder in 1 tablespoon hot water.
Add the dissolved coffee to the butter/sugar mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (reserve about 1/2 cup for topping).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. (Start checking at 10 minutes)
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
