Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love coffee and I love chocolate. It's such a great combination! When i saw these cookies from Lovin' in the Oven I knew they would be amazing. I love the fact that the dough is refrigerated overnight. I always feel that melting the butter and then refrigerating the dough overnight makes a better cookie. But hey, that's just me. :) Hope you enjoy these they're super good and they make AWESOME ice cream sandwiches :) :)
