Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons finely ground espresso beans
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Sift flour, cocoa powder, espresso, and salt into a bowl; set aside. Put butter, sugar, and vanilla into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture.
Divide dough in half. Place each half on a piece of parchment paper, and shape dough into rough logs. Fold parchment over dough; using a ruler, roll and press into a tight log. Wrap in parchment. Chill in freezer until hard, about 30 minutes (up to 2 weeks).
Preheat oven to 350. Unwrap logs; cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds, and space 1 1/2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * ½ cup Dutch cocoa * 1 tablespoon espresso powder * ¼ tsp salt * 1 cup unsalted butter, softened * 1 cup powdered sugar * 1 tsp vanilla extract * White chocolate for dipping (optional) * Sprinkles or colored

Steps:

Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine butter, sugar and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients gradually.
Divide dough in half and use waxed paper or parchment paper to form rolls (about the size of a half-dollar in diameter).
Chill in freezer until hard (about 30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350*F. Cut into 1/8 to ¼ inch rounds and bake 12 minutes.
Once cooled completely, dip cookies in or drizzle with melted white chocolate. Be careful as these cookies tend to be fragile. Sprinkle with red and green sugar if desired to make them more Christmas-y.
