Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Mix in the instant coffee powder and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
Stir in the finely chopped nuts and cocoa powder until the dough holds together when pressed.
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.
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.
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.
Once cooled, roll the cookies in the powdered sugar again for a thick, snowy coating.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy!
