Ingredients

1 tbsp instant coffee granules

2 tbsp hot water

1 1/2 c all-purpose flour

1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 c butter, softened

1/2 c granulated sugar

1/2 c packed light brown sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla

Chocolate nonpareil candies (about 1-inch in diameter)



Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Dissolve instant coffee granules in hot water, let cool. Sift together flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.

2. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with electric mixture and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add flour mixture all at once; beat until well combined.

3. Shape dough by level teaspoons into balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Gently press 1 candy onto center of each ball. (Do not press candies too far into dough balls. Cookies will spread around candies as they bake.)

4. Bake 7-8 mins or until set and no longer shiny. Cool cookies on pans 2 mins. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely. Store in airtight container.

Makes about 60 cookies.
