In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter, sugar, and instant coffee granules on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating between each addition. Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.

Bake for 12 minutes. The cookies will still be very soft, but will firm up as they cool. Let them sit for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack to continue cooling. Repeat in batches as needed.
