Ingredients

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder, heaped
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, mixed in
• 1 teaspoon boiling water

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400f (200 degrees c).
• 2 combine the flour and salt in a small bowl, stir to mix.
• 3 beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, beat in egg and vanilla.
• 4 add the chocolate, beat again, add coffee and cocoa powder.
• 5 gradually add the the flour mixture while making.
• 6 fit a cookie press with desired plate and fill the press with dough, press the dough 1 inch apart onto a ungreased cookie sheet. if you don't have a press, i'm sure you could use a pasty bag and pipe shapes.
• 7 bake batches for 7 mins or until set (you might want to play around with timings as most ovens are unique). note these cookies harden whilst they cool, i would also recommend using a mixer unless your super strong as it's quite a lot of dough.
