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

Instructions

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.
