Rich and buttery mocha cookies melt in your mouth with chocolatey goodness. These tender, bite-sized cookies are perfectly sweet with their powdered sugar coating and delicious mocha taste. Enjoy one with coffee or tea.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, salt, cocoa, instant espresso, and ground almonds; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
With a cookie scoop or your hands, shape dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking trays.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until set. Allow the cookies to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Roll warm cookies in confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks.
Notes
*Yield may differ based on the size of the cookie scoop used.
