Recipe from: Created by Noble Pig | Serves: About 20-22 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 Tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Confectioners' sugar
Directions:
Cream butter an sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
Combine flour, cocoa and espresso powder in another bowl. Add gradually to creamed mixture, incorporating well. Stir in nuts. Roll into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. (I used a silpat, parchment would be good too.)
Bake at 325 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until somewhat firm. Cool on pans for 5 minutes and then carefully roll in confectioners' sugar while still warm. Place on wire racks to cool completely.
