"A very cinnamony flavor. The only sweetness comes from the chocolate you dip these cookies in."

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup butter
• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and espresso powder together
3. Beat the eggs and margarine together until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
4. Form dough into two long (loaf shaped) logs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
