Mocha Cookies
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com.
1/2 cup butter - softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 oz. semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon instant espresso coffee dissolved in 2 teaspoon of water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
Grate the chocolate fine and set it aside. Cream the butter and sugar together by hand or with a mixer set at the slowest speed. Mix in the egg, blending well. Stir in the dissolved instant coffee and the vanilla, then the grated chocolate. Mix the salt into the flour. Stir the flour into the butter / sugar mixture and knead briefly. Form the unchilled dough into 2" balls and place 4" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees in the top third of your oven for about 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges are a little darker than the rest of the cookie.
