Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup coffee, extra strong
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, in a bowl for later
• Chocolate Powdered Sugar Icing
• Vanilla Powdered Sugar Icing

Directions

1. In a large bowl mix the flour, sugr, cocoa powdrer, salt and baking soda. Once these dry ingredients are combined, add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.

2. Add the beaten egg and mix thoroughly. Add the strong coffee and mix thoroughly.

3. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Overnight is fine too.

4. en you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350.

5. Roll the dough into 1" diameter balls with your hands. This dough may be sticky, so roll only enough for the cookies you plan to bake immediately and return the bowl to the refrigerator. Roll the dough balls in the bowl of sugar and place them on a greased cookie sheet, 12 balls to a standard sheet. Flatten slightly with the heel of your clean hand so they won’t roll off on the way to the oven.

6. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute and then move to wire rack to cool completely. If you leave them on the cookie sheet longer they will stick.

7. Let the icing dry completely and then pack in single layers in a box lined with wax paper. Do not stack them!
