Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoons instant espresso powder
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso powder. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter until smooth. You can use a wooden spoon or handheld mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 7

Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the dough ball generously in the powdered sugar until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the powdered sugar coating is crackly.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your delicious Mocha Crackle Cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
