Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs, large
2 cups powdered sugar, divided
1 tbsp instant coffee granules
⅓ cup cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1 cup pecans, roasted, finely chopped
½ cup powdered sugar, to coat
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and 1½ cups of powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract then set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the instant coffee, cocoa, flour, and salt.
Stir in the chopped pecans. Combine the dry ingredients and the butter mixture then mix until just incorporated.
Shape the dough mixture into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased sheets 2-inches apart.
Bake for about 14 to 16 minutes or until firm. Cool them down on the baking pan for 1 to 2 minutes.
Roll them in the remaining powdered sugar while warm, let them cool on wire racks, then serve!
