OK - I want to bake some chocolate cookies, but also want to add

[Flaxbee]

a little coffee flavoring to the cookie dough or to the frosting. The cookies will be made from scratch, but alas, the frosting is store-bought. Can I add coffee (either already made, or fresh grounds) to either the cookie dough or the frosting to give it a hint of coffee flavoring?

Here's the cookie recipe ingredients:

4 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
3/4 c. butter
2 c. sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
2 c. flour

Where would I add coffee, if possible?

Help appreciated! I only have 3 eggs in the house and don't want to f*ck up the batter by doing something stupid, 'cuz I also don't feel like going out the the store for more ingredients if I make a mistake... lazy I am.

1. I would add brewed coffee in place of whatever liquid

the recipe calls for.

Starbucks Columbian preferably. :-)

2. Most recipes with coffee

use a coffee liquer or instant coffe of some kind. I don't know about adding brewed coffee. It might be ok.
