Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso crystals
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt
3 eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Chocolate drizzle:
melted bittersweet chocolate chips
melted white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, coffee crystals, baking powder, cinnamon, and dash of salt. Beat until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Beat in cocoa powder and as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in the remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in nuts. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into an 8 inch loaf, using floured hands. Place loaves about 5 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten to 3 inches wide. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until firm and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a cookie sheet for 30 to 45 minutes or until completely cooled. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Cut each loaf diagonally into /2 inch thick slices. Lay the slices, cut side down, on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn slices over onto other side and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until dry and crisp. Drizzle cookies with melted chocolate and let stand until drizzled chocolate sets.
