We love our coffee in Seattle and not just to drink! These are a quick, rich little treat, similar to Mexican or Russian Wedding Cookies; they go perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/4 cup cocoa
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans or 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
3. Add the next 4 ingredients and mix well, then add nuts.
4. Shape into 1 balls and put on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Cool, then roll in confectioners' sugar.
