    Method

    • step 1

      Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt in a large bowl, and set aside
    • step 2

      In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg & yolk one at a time, then the vanilla, followed by the instant coffee.

    • step 4

      Wrap with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

      Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and chill for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325f/165c.
    • step 8

      Bake the cookies until they are set (about 20 minutes) be sure not to let them get too dark or the cookie will become bitter.
