Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee powder
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 grams Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 50 grams Extra powdered sugar (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and instant coffee powder, ensuring the coffee dissolves fully into the mixture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them between your hands to form 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are firm but not overdone.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Step 10
While still warm, gently roll each cookie in the extra powdered sugar to coat. For a denser coating, roll them a second time once they are fully cooled.
Step 11
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
