Cappuccino Cookies

These yummy cooffee treats come from a German cookbook, called "Baked Goods" and really are something special for your cookie tray. You can choose to make other shapes (I tried crescents), but since the cookies spread a lot, I find the balls work best. Please note: Prep time does not include 1 hour chilling time

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 30 cookies

Ingredients

• 10  g  instant cappuccino mix (or ordinary coffee powder)
• 25  ml hot water
• 150  g flour
• 50  g  ground almonds
• 50  g sugar (1/4 cup)
• 100  g butter, in medium pieces

Directions

1. Dissolve cappuccino powder in hot water. Let cool slightly.
2. In a big bowl mix flour, almonds and sugar. Add butter and cappuccino.
3. Knead into a dough (maybe using a kitchen aid as not to warm the dough too much).
4. Chill for 1 hour.
5. Form dough into small balls (size of a walnut) and place on a paper-lined baking sheet. Do not flatten balls.
6. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 15 minutes or until slightly coloured.
7. Melt the chocolate using your favourite method (hot water bath or microwave) and drizzle it over the baked cookie balls using a teaspoon.
8. Let dry and enjoy! :).
