Time 1h15m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
Crushed hard peppermint candies, if desired
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee granules
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coffee-flavored liqueur, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt until dough forms.
  • Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. Press thumb or end of wooden spoon into center of each cookie, but do not press all the way to cookie sheet.
  • Bake 7 to 11 minutes or until edges are firm. If necessary, quickly remake indentations with end of wooden spoon. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix whipping cream and instant coffee. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming and coffee is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted. Stir in liqueur. Cool about 10 minutes or until thickened.
  • Spoon rounded 1/2 teaspoon espresso filling into indentation in each cookie. Top with crushed candies.

I had some trouble finding espresso powder at my local grocery store. I ended up ordering it online.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I love the idea of using espresso powder in cookies. It gives them a unique flavor that I haven't tasted before.

I'm not a huge coffee fan, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The espresso flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
