Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 ounces cold unsalted butter -- (1 stick), cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 extra large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour -- plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee powder -- or granules
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate -- (1/8-inch bits)
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars on
medium speed until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and mix until
smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the
flour, instant coffee, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, and chocolate bits; mix
thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes.
Gather the dough together and turn onto a lightly floured board. Using
lightly floured hands, roll the dough into 2 or even 3 1-inch-thick logs.
Wrap the logs separately in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 1
hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Move an oven rack to the middle position. Line
large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the logs into 1/4-inch-thick coins; place 1/2 inch apart on the
prepared baking sheets.
One sheet at a time, bake until the cookies are lightly golden and are
firm enough at the edges to slide off the parchment without sticking, 15
to 17 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets set on wire racks.
Makes 10 dozen cookies (yes, that is what the recipe said)
AuthorNote: Here are the cookies that fueled my first year of 16-hour days
at the restaurant, those little coins of caffeine bliss that cried out ,
"Eat me and you'll be able to cook off that next batch of chickens!" They
remain my very favorite, blending the flavors of chocolate and coffee for
which I have a particular weakness.
These are very easy to make. If you wish to gild the lily, you can pipe
the cooled coins with fine criss-crossed lines of white chocolate. Amy
used to do this trick of dazzlement in our early show-off years, but then
we discovered that our guests adored these cookies even without the extra
finery.
