Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 65 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 80 grams Powdered sugar
• 100 grams Extra powdered sugar (for rolling cookies)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the instant coffee powder and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 5

Stir in the finely chopped nuts and cocoa powder until the dough holds together when pressed.

Step 6

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until set but not browned. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8

While the cookies are still warm, gently roll each one in the powdered sugar to lightly coat. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar again for a thick, snowy coating.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy!
