Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Beat in the egg and instant coffee.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Scoop dollops of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

For a healthier option, swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat and use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
