Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Step 2
Add eggs, vanilla extract and orange rind.
Step 3
Stir together chocolate chips and instant coffee, then add cocoa and flour.
Step 4
Using a mixer, add cupfuls of the flour mixture to the wet mixture, using a wooden spoon if too stiff for mixer.

With oiled hands or wearing food-safe rubber gloves, place dough on greased cookie sheets and form into logs that are ½-inch thick by 2 inches wide by 12-15 inches long.
Step 10
Bake for 15 minutes, then rearrange cookie sheets and bake about 10 minutes more.

Step 14
Cut into 5/8-inch-thick slices, spraying cookies lightly with water to reduce breakage.
