Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F.
In large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy.
Add eggs, instant coffee, and vanilla; beat well.
Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
Add oats and Almond Roca; mix well.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a super greased cookie sheets.
