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

Another reviewer said it best, adult cookies, and they are adult cookies at their finest. I used ground hazelnuts (I like them better than almonds) and couldn't resist adding some of the nuts into the chocolate as well. I used bittersweet chocolate and thought that a dunking rather than a light drizzle might not look as elegant but is more chocolate ever a bad thing? not in my book, lol. Loula, my PAC baby, your mama is very happy this afternoon.

Very nice adult cookie, not overly sweet and nice coffee taste. I used vanilla flavored instant coffee. I pressed the dough into a heart shaped silicone ice cube tray and popped them onto the cookie sheet. I used 70% dark chocolate to drizzle over the baked cookies. Turned out beautifully. I will definately make these again. Thanks for sharing Loula :)
