Dark Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

6 Tbsp granulated sugar

1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup coffee liquer 

2 2/3 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp instant espresso

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup chopped roasted almonds

dark chocolate kisses

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the brown and white sugars, beating well.

Now gradually add the coffee liqueur.

Mix well.

At this point, stop your mixer and use a silicone spatula thinger to scrape down the batter stuck to the sides.

Now go ahead and gradually add the flour, followed by the espresso, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Beat at low speed until well blended. 

Once the dough takes shape, if desired you can wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator up to 1 week. 

When ready to bake, form 2 inch balls of dough and roll around in the chopped almonds.

Place the dough balls 2 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden. 

Remove from oven and immediately press 1 dark chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. 

Let the cookies cool completely. 

I hope you enjoy these addicting little buggers!
